Married couples: Are arguments in a relationship healthy?

I’ve always thought that they are. I think an argument presents the individuals with an opportunity to express something/feelings that they otherwise could not have done without the said argument (if that makes sense?)..

Obviously, everyday arguing and bickering is not conducive to a marriage but the ocassional disagreement is okay?

Do u think otherwise? What is an acceptable frequency for arguments? Do you/did you argue a lot with your spouse? Did it help you understand each other better? Was it over trvial things or things that actually mattered? Is arguing bad for a marriage in every circumstance/situation?..

Personally, I think arguing is healthy. Plus the making up is the best bit after :wub:, lol..! :smiley:

I think they are healthy to some extent and over the time our arguments have shrinked from once a day to once a week, sometimes when Im bored I intentionally poke my husband just to start an argument.:p

I think arguments or discussion that are done in a respectful manner are healthy for the relationship. Otherwise I think people keep it in and it creates resentment in the relationship.

Never underestimate the "making up parts" - :)

It is inevitable for the plastic and rubber companies to prosper they depend on couples to argue ...
