If You Never Argue, You Don't Care

This one is interesting, because most people are obviously going to think "but how does it show I care if we fight?"

I know, because I thought it too when my mother told me this. But as time has grown on and I've grown up and been in my own relationship, she was never more honest.

Arguments in relationships mean that you care enough about the person to want to keep them safe or from doing something that may hurt them.

It also means that you are paying attention to each other enough that small things you notice that they do, may be irritating. But it's ok.

Here's a book I would recommend to read for readers. Check it out if you want:

Could friends be affecting your relationship?

Everyone has dealt with it at some point: those friends that claim your spouse every day of the weekend every week.

 First, sometimes this starts arguments. Why? Because often times these friends expect everything to be dropped when they say they are leaving. But what if you and him are busy with your time with each other. After working 5 days a week, all you want is one day where you get to spend time with your spouse. But the friends think other-wise. They don't realize that, though you do live together, you don't necessarily always get to spend alone time together after work. After long days, it's easier to come home and relax, not come home and have to leave again for date night.

 Some advice for these issues: have a talk with the friends. Let them know that you don't mind your spouse seeing them a couple times a month for beers at the bar or pool night, but you need some time with him as well. As long as you keep it polite, there's no reason they shouldn't understand.
