In any close-knit relationship, arguing, fussing and fighting is pretty natural…almost a given. When two people are closely linked or intimately connected, arguing is a form of communication that simply comes with the territory. Whether or not you master this communication, however, is what determines if your relationship is meant to last forever…or for right now. If you care enough about your partner and want a long-term relationship, arguments shouldn’t be anything to fear or worry about – unless those arguments become abusive. In fact, some arguments can serve as healthy barometers to test the strength of your relationship. Do you really want to work it out and stick together? Here are some healthy, productive ways you can disagree in order to make your relationship stronger…and last longer.

    But the first step in getting out and staying out of toxic relationships is to realize that you do have choices. Often people who stay in these couples have low self esteem or suffer from depression.

    Arguing in itself isn’t the problem. It’s the frequency of these arguments and what you say and do during them that causes the problem. Look, I am of the frame of mind that if we are going to disrespect each other verbally and/physically, we don’t need to be together.

      Agreed. My fiance and I have agreed to talk things out, he is an adult so I don’t talk down to him and vice versa. And we never go to bed angry. We aren’t perfect but our method has been working for us.
