Why Fighting is Normal in a Relationship

     Relationships are never easy.  Yes, there are many pros to relationships; love, laughs, fun times, etc.  There are also cons, such as fighting, disagreements, and stress.  Some people, especially younger men and women, who get into relationships think they are going to be all sunshine and rainbows.  When things do not end up going the way they anticipated, the relationship often ends.  They believe that just because fighting broke out and that they fight a lot, or so it seems, that the relationship was never meant to be.  Yes, there can be instances where two people should not be in a relationship because they fight too much or are not compatible.  However, most of the time people give up on relationships too quickly.  Just because a couple fights from time to time, it does not always mean the relationship is not worth saving.  In fact, it usually means that the relationship is normal.
     If couples did not fight, there would be no compromise, change, or greater understanding of partners.  Couples fight because they are not the same people and have different thoughts, opinions, and personalities.  Yes, a couple usually has a lot in common but it does not mean they will agree on everything.  It is only a matter of time before a couple has a disagreement that leads to an argument.  This can happen rarely or quite often depending on the couple.  Either way, it does not mean the relationship is unhealthy.  When couples disagree and argue, they showing their partners their true selves by being truthful in our words, thoughts, and opinions.  If we keep those emotions inside, the relationship may seem alright on the outside to your significant other, but on the inside, you would be miserable.  Arguing is how we release our emotions and show our partner that the relationship needs to change in some way.  When we do this, we have the opportunity to create compromise so that both parties are happy.
     Never give up on a relationship because of fighting.  Fighting is a sign that the relationship is healthy, happy, and normal.  When we fight, we compromise, and we learn more about ourselves and our significant others.  We can then move on stronger than we were before, keeping this newly acquired information in mind to maintain happiness between both parties.  Without fighting or disagreements, there would be a lot of pent up anger and resentment within, and that could lead to a premature end when there did not need to be.  Remember to always think of the good times and why relationships are always worth the effort in the long run.  Yes, fighting occurs, but the amount of memories you make and the love you share is the reward for the hard work.

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you g...
