Many couples think that arguing is the worst thing they can do, but that's not true.
Unhealthy arguments can lead to trouble, but arguing itself is not unhealthy.
In fact it can be a very productive way to work out our problems—as long as it's done lovingly and constructively.
Good communication is critical, and sometimes communication leads to debate. It's a give and take way to work out problems.
The worst thing a couple can do is to remain silent in the midst of trouble.
Don't let personal pride keep you from having a vibrant and fulfilling marriage. Talk to your spouse when something is bothering you.
Learn to have a healthy argument, and then never let a problem go without talking it through.
You'll be amazed at what a little communication can do for your relationship.
