Couples Who Fight a Lot Really Love Each Other

All couples fight. When it comes to relationships, conflict is inevitable. Once a couple is out of the honeymoon phase (which will happen with every couple and you are not the exception!), there will be moments of disagreement and argument.

But why do couples fight? And, what do they argue about the most? Sex and money are the most “common” issues couples get mad at each other for. But there are less important issues such as sexual jealousy, not liking each other’s friends and family, and discussing children all factor into things couples say cause the most conflict. It may sound



unimportant, but household chores is also one of the most common issues couples argue about.

But here’s the thing:: The good news is that 44 percent of married couples, according to a survey reported in the Star Tribune, believe fighting more than once a week helps keep the lines of communication open. In fact, even scientists say that couples who fight often, but always in a peaceful manner, are more likely to stay together because, despite all the small misunderstandings, they know that their love is true and sincere.

Fighting between couples is actually a form of communication. It's a loud, unpleasant way of saying, "I still love you, and I want to make this work." The unspoken words are much worse. It’s silence that kills and it also means that the relationship is dead when couples no longer want to argue to work it out.

It must be concluded that fighting is a sign of a mature relationship and it means that you care. Arguing is healthy and helps your communication easier. In fact, if a couple never fights, this may be a sign that something isn’t quite right with them. Psychologists believe that fighting not only makes your connection stronger but helps relieve your resentment. The couples who argue together, stay together!
