Just about everybody has verbal ‘battles
with their wife, husband, girlfriend or
-whatever. Some people kiss and make up

while other relationships end in divorce.
Maybe it depends on how. you fight.
Today's question is:

"Is it constructive for

sonstructive.. It depends
nm your attitude. Some
people go “for for. the
jugular” and others try to
reason things out. At
deast, when you are
fighting you are ex-
“pressing yourself and
communicating.

Yes, but only if both

people believe it is

trying to destroy each”
other. It is important to ,
assume good will on the
part of your «partner.
Fighting is constructive
with the right attitude.

Sure. It makes a
healthy relationship. But
you just can’t start
swearing at cach other.
Constructive fighting
opens up lines of com-
munication. If you keep
things pent up. the
relationship will remain
at a shallow level and not
grow.

Yos, because fighting is
communicating. It gets
those hidden feelings out
and can lead to mutual
understanding. It is
unhealthy to keep your
feclings pent up inside.
But it is important to fight
fair and not be crucl to
your partner in your
anger.
