Setting the Rules to Fighting

There is something that I learned a while back when it comes to fighting with your spouse or boyfriend. It’s communication! Si senoritas, it’s simple, but we all forget when the arguing starts. Being a women myself, I know that we always want to be right… that means all the time even when we’re not! It’s important when you’re fighting, that you tell him that there’s no need for screaming at the top of anyone’s lungs just to try to get a point across. Talk things through! Trust: it takes a while to get used to, (discussing rather than screaming), but you will see after you’re done, the fight wasn’t that bad. Also, try to not use profanity. All you’re doing is disrespecting yourself and the relationship you have.

In the long run, you’re training yourselves to be in a healthier relationship. Trust me, it works! Not too long ago, my boyfriend told me that he appreciated that we could sit down and talk things through without it getting out control. I want to know what you think. Have you tried it for yourself?

When you fight, do you …

1. Fight to the death, by screaming until your point is made?

2. Let him have his way, you don’t care!

3. Use malas palabras?

4. Other______________________
