What you have there is called a "barristers cabinet". It was
originally intended for a lawyer to keep his law books. They make
pretty good curio cabinets. They are not intended to be used as
filing cabinets, and it is a losing battle to try and make it into
one.
I think they were designed to hold folded court papers (summonses, etc.).
Letter size folded into thirds, legal folded twice, then sitting in a box

This is a FABULOUS opportunity for the two of you to do some reading
and conversing on the subject of how to resolve conflicts. If you
can't get past this fairly minor problem, you really need to consider
going for counseling. That is not a bad thing. Nobody is born knowing
how to be married, and some good professional coaching NOW could make
both of your lives better from this point onward. A lot better. Learn
how to get what you BOTH want. It ain't easy, but it can be done with
some sincere effort.
One secret of a happy marriage: Learn to pick your battles VERY
CAREFULLY! Don't be a doormat, but don't be a beligerent fool when
avoidable, either.
Very bad advice. One need only master two phrases to be a hero to the
little
lady:
1. "Yes, dear."
2. "Tell me more."
That doesn't sound anything at all like a happy (or healthy) marriage!

Generalizing about what makes a good marrage leads nowhere. There are just
too many personalities and cultures to draw any one conclusion. Ideally, I
prefer an equal partnership but some people are perfectly happy not being in
charge. To each his own and good for them.
