Fighting Language

We all know or at least have heard about love languages. If you haven’t, just know there’s 5, you should know yours so others will know how to best love you and you should know others do you can reciprocate in the ways that mean mist yo them. Now that we have that straight, do you know you fighting language? It’s probably something that you haven’t given much thought to in your life, but it’s just as important to know how to fight as it is to love. Let’s be clear. Physical fighting is not part of this discussion. Domestic violence is abhorrent and intolerable under all circumstances. If you or anyone you know are a victim of domestic violence, help is available by calling 800-799-SAFE (7233). You can visit thehotline.org for more information and resources. Disagreements happen in every relationship. Arguments can range from small misunderstandings to huge blowups. Whether it’s about finances, chores, who misplaced the remote, it happens to the best of us. But do you know how to fight? In our household, there are fighting rules. A few include no name calling, no storming out the house, no insults, and doing our best not to say things we don’t mean. It has been a standard we set to ensure that after the storm, we can bask in the sun knowing our troubles are behind us. Or at least until next time. But what happens when there aren’t any rules or standards? Can things go too far? Is there a line that’s crossed where the other dude seems so far away? All of the above is possible which is why having a standard and communicating with your partners what you need, dislike & triggers you is important to ensure the next disagreement isn’t the end of the relationship. Knowing how to fight is important. It’s not a one size fit all solution. However, learning what works for your relationship will help to get to the happy place much sooner. But what do we know? We aren’t relationship experts and this isn’t a self-help podcast. We’re just 2 people loving each other the best way we know how. And it feels good. Check out Episode 66 and join the conversation.
