Are you finding yourself constantly bickering with your significant other? Thought that maybe your love would be as fun, cute, and romantic as The Bachelor or The Bachelorette?
Well, as fun as the show might be, only a handful of couples from the show have stayed together so it may not be the best example for your relationship. But couples do fight all the time, it’s just a matter of understanding how to stop fighting and not letting your arguments get in the way of your relationship.
Here’s how you can end the screaming matches and get back to thriving together.
Breathe
As many may tell you when it comes to how to deal with relationship issues, taking a breather is important. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying, “Let’s just not talk for ten minutes and look at this again then.”
Other times you may need to go on a walk or just take a power nap. But giving each other space is incredibly important.
Doing this will prevent you from getting too heated and saying things that you may regret, so make sure to acknowledge that you may need some space when you get in a fight.
Don’t Just Let it Go
Now, it may seem easy to give each other space and decide to just let the whole thing go. Once you’ve calmed down it may even seem silly to go back and talk about what you disagreed about.
But it’s important to not just let an argument go when you get in one. While you may feel alright after your break, leaving things unresolved can cause you to harbor leftover anger.
Having that residual feeling can build up over time and just cause your next argument to be even more explosive and upsetting. Make sure you actually talk through your issues!
Remember the Reason
Finally, throughout all of your arguments, it’s key to remember why you’re together. Remind yourself and each other that you love one another constantly, and focus on the true goal: finding common ground so that your relationship can improve.
Doing this will center your conversations in love rather than in anger, and help you see where you need to be going when finding a solution. And if you’re realizing that your core reasons are different, then perhaps it’s time to reassess your relationship and talk about what each person wants.
Now You Know How to Stop Fighting
When you’re in a committed relationship or marriage, fighting is completely normal, and disagreeing is not uncommon. With these strategies, you’ll know how to stop fighting.
Instead, you can navigate arguments with ease and peace.
Don’t beat yourself up after the first few fights, and know that there are so many options out there like couple’s therapy. And if you find yourself in a dangerous relationship situation, never hesitate to reach out to someone you trust for help.
