8. Think Positive

It can be easy to fall into the negative when arguing, but try to look for the silver lining, so to speak. Don’t think that because you are arguing about the same old thing that there is no hope for the relationship; instead, think about how far you have come as a couple, all the obstacles you have overcome, and how much you have learned. Keep a positive outlook and look for the good. Chances are that you will find it!

 

9. Let Your Partner Save Face

Even if circumstances prove that you are right and your partner is 100% wrong, don’t destroy their ego by rubbing their face in it. You will be in their shoes one day, so how would you want to be treated? What matters most isn’t what YOU think of your partner, but what THEY think of themselves. Allow them to preserve their dignity and save face. Make allowances by saying things like, “I wasn’t sure I was right, but I can understand why you thought X.” Be kind.

10. Never, Ever Withhold Your Love

No matter how ugly things might get, don’t ever withhold your love from your partner. You can tell them that you think they are wrong, you can tell them that you aren’t happy with this or that, but always be certain that they know you still love them. Love is absolutely the most powerful force on this planet. No one wants to do things or change things for someone who does not show love. Be kind. Be loving. You will never regret it.
