Love Wars: Is Fighting Ever a GOOD Thing For a Relationship?
Don’t Go to Bed Angry
Sometimes you may not be able to find a solution or come to an amicable agreement after an argument. And that’s okay. For the time being, agree to disagree. Some arguments can be silly or petty, in which case you should kiss and make up and move on. If it’s a serious issue that requires a resolution, however, then work on it until you get to a place of workable compromise. If you can’t do that, then perhaps seeing a counselor, religious adviser or therapist can help you move past your issue – but the goal should always be to make peace. Depending on how severe your disagreement is, you may need to give in a little in order to bring peace back to your relationship. Giving in doesn’t mean you’ re wrong, or that the other person is right, or that your feelings don’t matter. It simply means that winning isn’t the prize, your partner is. Sometimes you simply have to ask yourself if what you’re arguing over is worth losing sleep over. If it isn’t, then let it go.
