The happiest couples on earth still argue. The difference is how they conduct themselves during the fight.Fighting fairly means absolutely no name-calling, no bringing up irrelevant past mistakes, and no using the 'D' word (Divorce) as a threat during a heated moment. Stick to the immediate issue at hand. Use 'I feel' statements instead of 'You always' statements.
If tempers flare out of control, call a 20-minute timeout to let your nervous systems calm down before resuming the discussion logically.
