Fighting the Right Way

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.

when couples come in for counseling, the first thing I often have to do is teach them how to fight fairly and without trying to hurt the other.
