How to stop arguing with your other half. Are you arguing with your partner and wondering where it all went wrong?
Do you dread going home because you know it will be another evening of arguments and tension? Do you feel unhappy in your relationship? Whether you have been together for 2 years or 10, the basic needs for a happy fulfilled relationship remain more or less the same. Here are some things to focus on in order to begin improving your relationship.
Communicate more effectively.
One of the main issues in relationships is often communication or lack thereof. It could also be that you are communicating but in a way which fuels the argument more. This is probably not intentional, however, can cause things to escalate and feel worse.
Start by learning what type of communication style you are each using when interacting with each other. For example, are you passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive or assertive? The ideal communication style is assertive so try to learn to communicate this way instead.
Remember to be kind to each other.
No matter what happens, you both care about each other otherwise you wouldn’t be bothering to remain in this situation. Remain kind to each other and always try to assume the other person has good intentions. They are probably not intentionally being difficult. Try to come from a place of compassion instead of defensiveness.
Make quality time for each other.
Often, life’s practical issues get in the way of having fun. The best way to maintain a positive connection with each other is to make it a priority to spend quality time together, whatever that may look like.
