Isn't it wasting time? Some people said being couple there must be a fight but I don't understand why so. Becasue when they started to love each other, there's no any problem. It seemed like those couples can accept each other so well already from the first moment they started. They used to laugh at the faults of each other but then one day after awhile all the problem that they used to be okay seemed to be big problem. Emotionally, holding the pride and think that I'm right. What for?? Isn't it wasting the happy time that they can have? Life is short but still spend the time for such a wasted. When they have a fight, would they remember how happy they were before the fight?? Maybe just 5minutes before the fight, would they remember they were laughing together? Would they remember the first day of saying love to each other? Or were they just pretending that they're good people or somehting that they are not for the first moment to get the acceptance and trust then take it for gratned?

There are lot of reasons why couples fight 1st is INDIFFIRENCES so if you really are inlove with someone accept him/her of who they are remember you are both different individuals with different upbringing & personality so respect each others personality/characters. 2nd NAGGING a big no no never nag to much you talk things over to resolve whatever issue never make a final decision of you did not hear both reasons. Listen to your partner then you will know if he is lieng or telling the truth. 3rd MISCOMMUNICATION being busy from work, friends, that you forgot what you promise & you did not set your priorities yet is it being with someone you love or your friends. For me those are the things that I already over come with our 7 years of marriage. I did my part to make the relationship going on.

Well, I like to listen but she doesn't talk, doesn't act anything. That's the part that get me angry. I've been waiting to hear her say something when we have fight. But she always act nothing at all........

Fights or arguments can't be avoided. In our family which is of Chinese ancestry, we believe that we should fight/argue when we have to, but at the end of the day, we should be at peace with each other.

Nobody wishes or desires to fight. Just like everyone would want their relationships to last. But that's not always the case. As it has always been said "Familiarity bridges contempt". As we stay together for a long time, there will be familiarity, to the point of no longer watching our tact. We sooner forget that each one of us is an individual, and our individuality would cause us to take the other for granted. Which is the start of sparks and eventually fights will occur. I think it's how the couple could stay together and adjust regardless the fights. It's how they could hold on and how they could be okay in the end and when love would prevail. It's just sad that most couples now could just leave when the going gets tough.

To break is so easy, but to maintain the relationship is really hard, i think this is the only problem for a couple to do, even to a married couple if you realized it ... But sometimes a fight is necessary to maintain a relationship, it will be flat if there's no fight in the relationship life, but don't make it to be over and hurting each other, one day maybe you can feel it is funny couple years ago when you are fighting about silly things and can laugh together about it Hopes your relationships is great!

I believe that it is impossible for a couple to go through their lives together without having any sort of a conflict with one another. My husband and I have been married for almost six years and we've been together for about eight years. In that time we've only had two fights that were really memorable. The first fight was when our son was just a few months old and the other fight was just a couple of weeks ago. I think there are times that things just come to a head and you need to get your frustrations out and that is why you end up having conflict with your spouse.

Everybody fights. Conflict is human nature that nobody will ever be able to prevent Sometimes, an argument between a couple can actually be beneficial, because it encourages them to reveal their true feelings with one another out in the open, rather than keeping them bottled up. By doing this, they can then work on resolving this issue

I agree about the benefic of the argument between a couple. We can get understand each other more. But sometimes the fight was taking too much time. It's shame to spend time for fighting. And the argument that happened happens again.

Even the happiest couple do have their fights. I guess these just means that you should always expect that there are times that conflict cannot be avoided. Is this normal? It depends on how the couple managed their conflicts. If they would always fight and do not resolve their conflicts in time then it is not healthy anymore. But if the conflict can easily be resolved by the couples then I guess it is normal event in a loving couple.

If a couple is truly in love, it will not matter if they fight. They will get over it and the fight will not cause trouble. I believe, there will be fights, because people are different, and they will have different opinions. No two people are the same. True love will last, because it will not matter. Happy posting.

Well it is impossible to live in a world without conflicts or fight. We are different people and have different opinions and ideas. It is just natural to have some misunderstanding along the way. No matter how close you are or how much you love someone. Its part of a healthy and developing relationship. What is important however is that we should resolve the conflict in a win win situation and not end up breaking after or divorcing.

I don't say that the couples must have fight, but I have noticed that couples with small misunderstandings or fights once in a while have a healthier relationship that people who never fight. In case of people who never fight, they won't be able to take it when there is a fight and it will result in brake up. From my experience, I realized that small fights and misunderstandings help us to understand each other better and it deepens the love once you compromise or solve the issue.

I don't any couple really decides to fight. But you're right, it's such a waste of time! But we just can't help it either. Sometimes when I feel that my boyfriend and I are about to fight, I stop myself and look for a way to prevent the fight and just get to the point already. Not everyone can do that though, I guess I can't even do that all the time. Sometimes he also stops himself. He tries to see things my way too or shows me what he thinks in the hopes that we won't have to fight.

Arguments are bound to happen - that is human nature-but serious fights are a little dangerous putting the whole marriage in jeopardy. Couples should agree to disagree and have their own opinions, and not force their own opinion on the other partner, rather than fight. And I always say jokingly - marriage without arguments is like" food without spices or without salt-pepper !!!" hehe

Fighting doesn't always mean they don't love each other. It's normal for couples to have fights and misunderstandings. No one is perfect after all. Sometimes, these fights are advantageous in a way that you both learn from them. Once you know what your conflicts and differences in your relationship, you could easily work things out and makes your relationship more stronger. Life without spice can definitely be boring right? Think of it as a learning experience for both of you. After all, it's the sweetest thing when you made up after a fight. ;)

Well I think that arguments in a couple is just natural and it is sometimes good for a couple to fight because they can express what they don't like in their relationship and maybe they would try to fix it. In real life not everything is nice there will come to a point where something bad happens but when that happens I hope that heir love for each other will prevail and they will become stronger.

All couples fight its part of nature. If we didn't fight then we wouldn't be able to make it thru a relationship. Sometimes people get their feelings out better through fighting rather than talking. They say when you fight it brings you closer. Yeah it's not healthy to fight all the time but there is times you're going to have disagreements in a relationship, what relationship doesnt have any?

Hello, Hubfee.:-) It is a normal thing to have a fight with a spouse. When you reached that level wherein you are not really that conscious anymore to show your best foot (always) to your partner, reality sinks in. There are things that need to be settled in a realistic way. Since, all of us are unique individuals, we have different opinions and views in life, etc., etc. We fight not to waste time but to put sense to what the problem or issue lies. In fighting e learn to compromise (that is, if you truly love each other) as well as we learn from our partner. It is not always that we are right with what we thought. We fight or argue because we are stubborn to admit that our partner has a more sensible views than what we have. Part of growing maturely in a relationship is having to fight from time to time. However, do not forget that you are only arguing to resolve the issue and not to further complicate it. Thus, making up a fight is a sweet way to tell that "hey I love you and nothing change with what I feel despite of our arguments". In short, for every fight, don't forget to kiss and make up.LOL Happy Mylotting and have a wonderful day ahead.:-)

Hi Hubfee, It's but normal for couple tohave misunderstandings and disagree on things but this does not mean that it will proceed to fights and take long for them to settle. per experience, if we have misunderstanding we just stay silent but never utter any words or nag each other because it will just make it worst. after that any one of us can start a conversation with peace offering and that's it. lilfe it too short for us to be dwelling on negative things and energies. all we need is understanding and caring ways. end the day with a hug and kiss.

I don't think that couples must fight, there are obviously going to come conflicts, because we are humans, and we don't have to agree on everything, because after all we are individuals and we are allow to have different opinions. But the way of how we handle conflicts it is what makes a difference in our relationships. Also the respect to our couple and to their opinions is very important. However sometimes people don't fight because they don't voice their opinion and don't say what bothers them, so what happens is that the relationship goes downhill because they start resenting each other. But I don't think it is necessary for a couple to fight in order to have a successful relationship

I fought with my boyfriend a lot when we first started dating but I think it was because we weren't really sure how to act with eachother and we had different ideas on certain things. Now we compromise and agree and practically read each others minds! We love each other so much that were willing to do nearly anything to make the other happy. I make sacrifices for him and he does the same for me!
