How true?

well I believe it is most probably true. Avoiding conflict will only result in emotions being bottled up. As time past, resentment will build up. Often people who avoid conflict cannot resolve their anger but show it in some other ways. Over time this will cause a rift between the couple. Fighting is probably not the best way to resolve conflict but it sure is better than keeping it inside. Cheers ;)

My husband and I do not fight or have arugments. We might disagree on certain things and we talk them out and settle it that way. I see no need in aruging or fighting as that usually will cause only hurtful things said and or done in anger that you can not take back.

I can only speak from my own personal experience. Whoever did the studies might not have been very thorough. I have been very happily married for almost forty years now and neither myself nor my husband have ever fought with each other. We might had had differences of opinions on a few occasions but we always agreed to differ. My parents were married for over sixty and I never saw or heard them fighting or having an argument.

Everytime I have a brawl with my partner, it seems to me to be the end of our relationship, end of the world... But then, it takes hardly 2-3 hrs or at the max 10-15 days to forget everything and be back together. It's fun to see how we laugh over our foolish arguments. Every fight after gettinmg resolved makes us realise how deeply bonded we are, how inseparable.. :)

Hello I think it is better to let all things out and sometimes it is okay to fight! If you hold everything in it will just make you crazy, and later on a bigger fight will take place . My fiance and me fight! We are an okay couple haa haa . There is fighting and then there is fighting . I dont think there is anything wrong when stressed or something goes wrong alking about it . Well, fighting lol!! I always heard the saying if you are not fighting its not normal! SO hmm?

I agree that sometimes it helps when couples fight. You get to know each other more and try to patch up things after. It's like starting oll over again..there comes the thrill because you become sweet to each other, forgiving faults and accepting the other person's weaknesses. Married life may be so boring without petty quarrels. You'll never get to love a person more if you share a stereotype life..hehe

I think that sometimes people who fight, disagree and argue trust each other more. They trust that no matter what happens, the other person will still be there for them. The person who is afraid of conflict may be afraid that if they disagree then the other person will leave them. So then they hold everything in and become more and more angry and disappointed, and the relationship suffers.

That could be true but not at all times. It happens to me and my wife frequently. After a fight, we tend to be sweeter and more affectionate to each other. I think of that as our little ways to reconcile and be sorry for the wrong things we've done and said.

Its probably true, couples that fight, are able to get it out of their systems and say what they want to say and not bottle it all up. Couples who choose to avoid the conflict are just making it worse, its not good to keep things bottled up because one thing will lead to another and pretty soon it turns into the biggest fight you ever had, then your not happy.

me and my hubby dont fight and we have the best marriage that we know of.. BUT a lot of people that dont fight are just bottling it in so that it becomes a HUGE problem and when they finally decide to deal with it its just too much to handle and they break up

I think that part of it is true. Arguments could sometimes be healthy if it encourages both partners to become better for each other. However if your relationship is all about fighting, then why did you start it in the first place. Arguments could be good to know and to solve the differences between you and your partner.

I do not believed on that case if that would be the real things because what I know if the Marriage had a lot of troubles and encountered a lot of fights would never have a good bonding of Marriage.....

I think it helps. If there was never fighting, can you imagine how much would be just bottled up inside? I think this is partly about couples being open enough with each other to let them know what is a problem for them, and is all about communication. It also means they are used to the stresses that come with marriage, and probably have developed skills to resolve tough issues through this. But this isn't to say constant fighting is good. Just that some arguing may be helpful.

my husband and i dont fight. Even when we were still dating ( for 9 years ), we dont fight. We are happily married for 4 years now. That is because even if dont fight, we do not avoid conflicts. We do have petty arguments and we sometimes disagree, but we deal with maturely. Fighting will not help, by fighting I mean, physically and verbally attacking each other. When we argue, there may be some raising tones but never yelling & cursing. conflicts and these petty arguments are unavoidable. marriage is not a bed of roses. but these things spice up the relationship...its always sweet to kiss & make up.
