Fight! Fight! Fight!
Yep, fight! Turns out after years of thinking we should avoid them, fighting is one of the best things you can do for your marriage. The Heart of the Fight: A Couple’s Guide to Fifteen Common Fights, What They Really Mean, and How They Can Bring You Closer spells it out for us. What’s extra fun about the book is that the authors, Judith Wright and Bob Wright, are married and they reveal plenty about their own marriage and their own fights.
Here’s the book’s description from the publisher: Every couple fights — it’s how you fight that can determine the success of your relationship. In this unique guide, you’ll learn how to use disagreements as an opportunity to deepen your understanding of your partner, bring more intimacy to the relationship, strengthen your bond, and really learn from the conflicts and tensions that occur between you. If you’re ready to start fighting for your love, rather than against it, this book will show you how. Read more about the book here.

Intriguing! Ha…I don’t like the word fight! But strong disagreements works for me. I agree on the premise. If you keep sweeping issues under the rug, eventually explosions can occur, or your relationship can become dull and lifeless.

We aren’t fighters, but maybe we should be! Our fights have usually centered around money. Thanks!

Agreed! Taught to tamp down feelings in Catholic school, the women’s movement helped me tap into the anger. Good clean Fighting done well is like the fresh clean air after a good storm, it’s building intimacy not the other way around
