As a precaution, this post is not about what is right or wrong, it is purely my personal opinion. Yet, I find that many people agree with me. Here is the issue:
We have all heard the phrase, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". I believe this applies to relationships as well. Sure, there have been couples who have been married for thirty years and have never had a legitimate argument. But, I believe arguments and disagreements are vital to a healthy relationship. They prove that the two of you are comfortable and confident enough around each other to express your true feelings and opinions. This is a good thing. Now, keep in mind, I am not endorsing physical or emotional abuse. Notice I used the word argument, not fight. Needless to say, there are still those who would whole heartedly disagree with me. Some believe that a lack of arguing is better for a relationship than the occasional squabble. However, would life not be a snore if everything was lovey dovey all the time? If your partner did not counter your perspective once in a while? I know I need someone who has individual thoughts and feelings. Someone who can think for himself and form his own opinions. Life would get boring if he just agreed with everything I said. I, myself, am a highly opinionated person and need someone to disagree with me once in a while. Take a look at the movie, The Notebook. Of course, the example is a bit extreme for today's society. I don't expect you to beat up your boyfriend's car while he's attempting to drive away. However, the dynamic between the two main characters is so deeply passionate because they are able to butt heads and still come out of the argument as best friends. As seen in the movie, Noah has a way with words,and this quote is no exception:
