Why do we keep arguing?

Our expert says:

There is no couple on this earth who doesn’t argue. And disagreements can be a way of maintaining a healthy relationship, as long as you’re arguing effectively. It’s always better to air issues out rather than keeping things in. However, if you’re in an endless spiral of bickering, it can really take its toll on how you feel about your partner.

You say you keep bickering about the silly things, but it’s worth thinking through your past arguments to see if there are any common themes? Often the supposed ‘silly’ arguments are about something much deeper that you need to address between the two of you – like security or trust. This article about dealing with arguments has some good tips.

What do you think? And how do you handle arguments as a couple? Remember, everyone’s relationship is different. There’s no right or wrong.
