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.

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...
