Titanwolf Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I've heard somewhere that, couples who argue together, stay together. Do you believe this? Personally, I think there's truth to it, considering the fact that when you argue with someone (full scale war-arguing) they're not acting based on reason, but on instinct. They say things, they wouldn't otherwise say and it can be very beneficial to a couple in the long run. What do you think? arguments, yay or nay?
Author Titanwolf Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 How do people argue together? By arguing, they're keeping the lines of communication open, thus in the long term, benefiting their relationship. I don't literally mean arguing together lol. Also- I found the article I read a while back that sparked this thread. The couple that argues together stays together: How bickering could be the key to a long and healthy marriage | Mail Online
january2011 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I suspect it's more the case that couples who handle conflict well in the relationship are more likely to stay together. It's doubtful that frequent disagreements and/or shouting matches would be conducive to a long-term relationship. Having said that, couples who sweep things under the carpet and make assumptions rather than communicating openly and honestly (but kindly) probably aren't doing themselves any favours either. 4
Els Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I don't think it's the arguing per se that keeps people together (God no!), but rather the ability to work through those problems together instead of just calling it quits immediately. That is a lot harder than it sounds, and often only possible with a genuinely compatible partner.

What do you think? arguments, yay or nay? nooooooooo!!!!! nay! hell no! i LOATHE arguments or confrontation with anyone. i detest things people say in the heat of the moment. i hate the aggression. and its all usually an overreaction anyway. i dont think arguments are healthy or beneficial to anyone. small disagreements are inevitable, but all out war is just a sign to get out of the relationship. (i had a bit of a violent relationship, we used to scream, shout, throw things. i want kids one day and theres no way id bring a child into that kind of an environment where people are having full scale explosions at eachother.)
ThingsAreComplicated Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 uhm...headline is different from text. Arguing while GETTING TO KNOW each other is definitely beneficial because it can surface postive/negative character traits which otherwise would have been hidden maybe for a long time behind a facade. In LTR like january2011 said.
Quest4_TheLost Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I would agree that it's not the argument but in how you deal with it. Over coming obsticles in a relationship is what keeps the relationship together and makes the bond stronger.. Oh and the make up sex dosen't hurt either!
YellowShark Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Arguing with me = foreplay Bitch.. I hate you. uhhhhh... What you up to Sat night? 1
Quiet Storm Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Arguing with me = foreplay Mmmmm, I love make up sex. 1
SarahRose Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 no i don't agree with that at all. first husband abusive rages, certainly didn't keep our marriage together 2nd husband, we seldom argue, makes for a happy marriage
YellowShark Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 A cute quote.. this thread reminded me of it. "If you haven't considered murdering someone, you have never been in love." Chris Rock 1
El Brujo Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Nope. All of my life, I've had to deal with people who insisted they were always right... even when everyone else around them knew otherwise. It takes a really bull headed person to argue an invalid point and run it into the ground.
