Conflicts are inevitable. Arguing is a choice. Conflicts grow out of our uniqueness. The goal of conflict resolution is not to rid ourselves of our differences. The goal is to learn to work together as a team, using differences to make life better for both of us.But for some couples, conflicts lead to arguments and arguments often get out of control. Instead of finding solutions, they create new problems. One wife told me, "I just do whatever he wants because I'm tired of arguing." Obviously, this approach won't lead to an authentic relationship.--

I agree with much that is said in this post. I do have a little comment that some might find interesting. My Wife and I have been married for 25 years and have not had an argument. We came close a couple of times, but we did not go over that line. The reason? It is not about us. When we got married, it was not just because we loved each other, but because we Loved the Lord Jesus Christ and wanted to serve Him. We decided that this could best be done together using our love for each other to serve Him. When we did come close to that 'line', we quickly realized that it wasn't about Him, but ourselves.
I hope this helps someone,
