A healthy fight with your partner will help you live longer. A new research has revealed that couples who bottle up anger die earlier than people who stand up for themselves.
Regulary repressing emotions can increase stress related conditions such as, heart disease and high blood pressure.
Professor Eenest Harburg, who led the research found that even when other factors such as age, weight and smoking were taken into account couples who rarely argued were less healthy. What is important is how you resolve conflict when it happens.
A row means you love someone and you care for that person. As a relationship is about two people interacting and relating to each other disagreements will come up at times.
It is important to express your anger without showing disrespect. In that way you will have constructive fights which helps resolve the conflicts. You should not be scared of arguing with your spouse. If you never argue with someone you live with, it’s most likely you are sharing space than a relationship.
Knowing how far to go is the key. You should know when to walk away, get some space and come back when you are ready to make it up to your partner. You can go for a walk or even to the pub just to help the situation to calm down.
Learn to say sorry. You have to say five lovely things to your partner to make up for just one bad thing. lots of sweet talk, a nice meal or a big box of chocolate can help get your relatinship back on track.
It is important that people don’t argue just to pick up a fight. Communication is very important in a relationship, don’t limit yourself in a discussion, debate or even a good argument.

I agree and you can use this example with more than a relationship with your loved one. I think you can even use it in the work place or in fact anytime you are stressed or mad at someone!

Right on the money. By the way Hi, long time hey. The thing is I envy people that fight with their partners, why? because they at least express what they were feeling. I’m the kind of person that keeps things in until one day I blow up. Anyway, I’m learning to express myself more. I needed that post, thanks
