However, there are right and wrong ways to argue. And learning to argue the right way can benefit both your health and your relationship.
Part of healthy arguing is knowing what topics can lead to disagreement. These are topics that you may want to think about before jumping into a battle without a plan.
According to Daily Mail, research conducted by Esure revealed that money, laziness, and tuning a partner out are among the top reasons for arguing. Further, snoring, speedy driving and dinner choices can fuel the fire. And of course, sex and saying “I love you” made the list.
If you’re going to approach these or any other topics, you’ll want to know what not to do. That’s because maintaining a stable relationship is often about understanding and respecting these boundaries.
According to Dr. Frederic Neuman, there are several unhealthy arguing styles. The first of these involves domination. When a person tries to dominate a friend or partner, it's about being in charge. But in the long run, this approach can lead to resentment.
Name calling is a no-no. It’s never healthy to call others names. Your goal isn’t to insult a friend, spouse or family member, no matter how angry you are. So hold your tongue in this respect.
