As many of you know I love to find/read quotes.
I just found a page of "I believe" quotes.
Here's one I like:
"I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do." unknown
What do you think?

I agree with that one. You have to love enough to bother to disagree and argue.

Wow, Raydene! Aren't you the busy bee this morning!!! 
This one is absolutely true. ABSOLUTELY!!! Unless arguments become filled with hateful invectives, they are another means of communicating. People who don't argue don't communicate. I've never quite understood people who say "oh, we never argue". I know I've seen some couples who are still holding hands in old age (which I just love to see) who don't think they argue, but there are different degrees of disagreement - maybe because they don't get down and dirty and actually have civilized debates, they don't think it's arguing. I personally like a "healthy" heated argument once in a while. It gets it out of the system and then there's usually something that one or the other does that's so off the wall outrageous it turns into a roaringly funny wacky kind of thing. We still disagree, but the tension is now gone. No hate - just disagreement. My parents didn't love one another (if my father loved my mother, he sure never showed it) - they didn't talk. Dad simply didn't even acknowledge my mother's presence. Once, he didn't even notice she wasn't home, locked the doors and went to bed. When she came home, she couldn't get in. So, no - not arguing doesn't mean there's love. Believe me.

My first wife and I never argued. We didn't even disagree. It didn't last.
