Love Wars: Is Fighting Ever a GOOD Thing For a Relationship?

Confront Conflict

Most people avoid confrontation like the plague. No one likes to feel uneasy, and most times couples avoid touchy subjects for fear of their partner’s reaction. However, if something is bothering you, or there is an issue that needs to be addressed in your relationship – speak up. Okay…so you may argue about it, but so what? Conflict is normal, even healthy. No one is perfect and no two people are alike or think the same on every single subject. The differences between you give you a chance to learn something about the other person, and ultimately you may also learn something about yourself. Debating or disagreeing on a topic that is crucial to your relationship can bring clarity to a situation, show you where you need to do more work or where you have an opportunity to grow. Running away from problems don’t make them go away, so deal with your issues and concerns head-on, and move past them.
