Learning how to argue effectively can be one of the most important things when it comes to a long and happy relationship. Every couple has conflict from time to time, and if they don't that means someone is giving in too much. Conflict is a positive thing.

But learning when and how to pick a fight is extremely important. Women tend to let things build up, and then BOOM - let it fly. The trouble with this is that men pay more attention to a woman's EMOTION rather than what she is actually saying.

There's a good article for women on how to pick your battles. I encourage women to read it and then fight healthy! It really does improve your relationship.
