how do you cope with fights?

For the most part we dont have many disagreements but when we do, its usually about money. Basically this is how it goes..he says his part I say mine, he raises his voice I raise mine, then I give the silent treatment, and a bit later we are friends again..lol. We do eventually talk about the issue calmly and get it worked out...but there is always the flareu up first..i guess just to get the frustrations out of our systems.

my husband and i never really fight. its not that we agree on everything. we do have misunderstandings and petty arguements. but not really big fights. the first thing to cope with this is just to avoid one. We do this by extending so much efforts in making nice choice of words when we disagree. We dont curse or use ugly words. We make sure that we deliver our feelings in a kind way, no shouting or screaming necessary. Then when we feel annoyed or pissed at each other, we respect each others space. Either he goes, or I do. I go shopping, go to movies & have a cup of coffee with a friend. Then, we will talk about it all when we're both calm enough to understand reasons. Most of all, there should always be willingness to forgive and settle everything as soon as possible. Remember that marriage is not a bed of roses. There will always be a bumpy road. Expect sharp twist & turns, but enjoy the journey together.
