Healthy relationships between men and women


In men and women relationships we all get into an argument every now and then. This is totally natural, and even healthy! It adds spice to life, so to speak and makes it more exciting. Ever heard the expression "where there's no anger and annoyance, there's no passion?"If you hear a couple say they never argue, then you should be a little suspicious and may want to take a closer look. You shouldn't be surprised to find no communication and hence, no love or passion in their relationship, and this is sad. This reminds me of an anecdote about a couple in ancient China who had live together for so many years without ever getting into an argument. Everyone wanted to know their secret, and it was simple: they never talked to each other!When it comes to men and women relationships, there is always disagreement simply because everyone is different. The only way you can avoid this is by not having a relationship or being like the above-mentioned Chinese couple. We all have different interests, different opinions, as well as different things that annoy us.Looking at my own relationship with my wife, there is always some kind of argument and disagreement over big and small things every once a while. And yes, things can get a little heated at times. You see, my wife is the youngest child in her family while I'm the only child, and you know how that goes :) Each of us was used to having our way as a kid, and it got carried over into our adult man and woman relationship.When we first got married we used to fight (not physically) more often and we wouldn't talk to each other for a while. This is quite normal in men and women relationships as they try to get used to living together and deal with their different personalities.However, we also realized that we needed to forgive quickly because we love each other. We also made a pact that we would never go to bad angry, and that we would say "I love you" to each other more often. Yes, we still have our fights every now and then but those two things help us limit how long we can stay mad :) Love is indeed the most important thing that holds together relationships between men and women.
