To fight or not to fight is the question? Before you enter into your next disagreement remember these 6 simple tips.

 

  • Communication –is KEY to any healthy & happy relationship. If you do not communicate with your partner you are missing a big key to happiness in your relationship. Communication is a great bond that is formed from trust and honesty. Whether the topic is a good or bad one, let them know how the situation makes you feel. If you don’t and hold it all in, more than likely resentment will form and that can cause a huge riff in your relationship.
  • They Learn From Their Mistakes – It’s inevitable couples are going to fight.  Learning from your past disagreements can help couples make their “fights” few and far between. Take what happened and use it to better your relationship so the same issues do not resurface.
  • Picking and choosing their battles – This might sound odd but knowing when to fight is a very helpful in NOT fighting.  It’s all about learning how to not make the small things into a bigger issue.
  • They Choose Their Words Wisely–  We all have them, certain words that can set us off. Being in a relationship, you certainly get to know someone on a very close level. You know what can push their buttons as well. Don’t use words as ammunition, words are powerful and can leave longer mental scares than even the “fight” does.
  • They Apologize – Always remember to apologize. That five letter (SORRY) word can hold a lot of power if you let it. The trick behind it is to really mean it, understand why your partner feels the way they do and acknowledge it.
  • Remembering That Love Conquers All- At the end of the day, no matter how big an argument may be or how mad you are at them for eating the last spoonful of Nutella, the love you have for each other is so strong that the being mad is just not worth it.
