Couples who argue often have lasting marriages.

Arguing, or arguing, is a form of communication. Dr. Stephanie Sarkis (USA) shared in Psychology Today, there are 7 components that make up a healthy relationship and arguing is one of them.

There will always be challenges and conflicts in a relationship. As the early stages transition to stability, people tend to defend their territory. They want to be heard and understood, to pursue their passions, and to be acknowledged. Couples who argue are expressing their desire to be heard. When this behavior is done constructively, the couple will grow closer.

Through repeated arguments, both sides gain experience in communicating effectively. As a result, they will know what is worth arguing about and what is not.

Arguing also allows both parties to release their emotions, as long as they don’t hold grudges. On the other hand, suppressing emotions to avoid conflict is unhealthy. A strong relationship means that both parties can resolve disagreements without turning into anger and hatred.

Disagreements in a relationship can be an opportunity to grow and learn. Arguments can allow couples to understand each other's unique perspectives, beliefs, and personal identities.

Additionally, some couples who argue often also tend to become more passionate afterward. Some prefer to have sex after a heated argument, as this increases hormones and blood pressure.

Relationship expert Dr. Pam Spurr explains that you subconsciously care about the other person even during an argument. For example, an argument may indicate that you want your partner to drink less and be more health conscious, or that you want them to be more punctual so that neither of you miss important things.

Why do some couples argue?

Arguing doesn't mean your relationship is in trouble. Arguing is a healthy form of communication that can clarify different points of view and teach both parties valuable lessons.

Additionally, disagreements in a relationship are natural, showing that both parties have different views and beliefs.

Dr. Stephanie Sarkis (USA) pointed out a fact: "I have never seen a healthy couple that does not argue. However, they never fight, they just argue."

Experts say that mastering the art of arguing is crucial to a healthy relationship. So, even when you're arguing, keep these rules in mind.

Watch what you say and avoid saying something you will regret. Also, don't let yourself get sidetracked or wander off into unrelated topics.

Speak up when you feel angry, don't keep it inside. However, you need to approach the conversation with kindness, respect, and love.

You don't always have to be right. Listen to your partner's point of view, they may be right.

If you find yourself getting too heated, go to another room and come back when you have cooled down.
