Thought Fighting Was Bad For Your Relationship? Think Again!

A lack of communication is worse than having it out

Rebecca McKnight

Nobody likes getting into an argument and there’s nothing worse than seeing a couple having a tiff in public.

But it seems that these moments can actually be the difference between whether your relationship lasts or not.

According to a survey by a lifestyle website, a lack of communication is the main reason that people get divorced. This is followed by an inability to resolve problems.

A clinical psychologist, Lisa Blum, once said: “Fights can be really healthy, and an important form of communication and clearing the air.”

In other words, as long as you and your other half are communicating (whether it’s heated or not) and come to some sort of a resolution (followed by make-up sex of course), then you are in a good place.
