Religion / a Christian book about engagement and marriage
English term or phrase: are still niggling away
It is possible that you can both honestly say this past year has been the best year of your lives. [...]
On the other hand, as you filled in your preparation, perhaps there were some bad crises that came flooding into your mind. Disagreements that neither of you handled particularly well, situations that you think are best forgotten, clashes of temperament or annoying habits that ***are still niggling away*** at your marriage, and things that you wish could be un-said.
