How to End Frequent Fights in a Relationship

Many couples believe fights and arguments in a relationship to simply be a normal part of being together and sharing your life so intimately with another person. However, it doesn’t have to be this way, and if your fights are frequent, aggressive, or lead to more bad emotions than they should, then it certainly shouldn’t be this way. Whilst disagreements are a normal part of a healthy relationship, it’s important to note that they should never result in name-calling, aggression, or have devastating effects on other areas of your life. If you find that you and your spouse seem to be constantly at war with one another, then it’s a sure sign of an unhealthy relationship, even if you love each other very much. Here are some top tips to help you put all the bad fights with your partner to an end.

Tip #1. See a Therapist:

If the fights between you and your spouse are getting out of hand and there seems to be nothing that you can do to talk it through and come to a solution together, then you may benefit from the services of a professional, impartial therapist. One of the main benefits of seeing a professional counselor about your relationship problems is that they will be completely unbiased and able to look at your relationship through objective eyes, unlike your friends and family members who know you.
For couples with busy lives, an online relationship counselor can be the best solution since you can access their services from the comfort of your own home.

Tip #2. Practice Mindfulness:

Whilst it can be easy to pass all the blame onto your spouse when you are in the middle of a heated fight, it’s important to remember that it takes two. Even if your partner isn’t being cooperative with your efforts to fight less and communicate better, you can at least focus on yourself and how you personally handle your disagreements. If you tend to get angry quickly and say a lot of negative things that end up making fights worse, then it’s important to work on this yourself so that you can improve things overall in the relationship.
A good way to gain more control over your thoughts and emotions to make it easier for you to deal with fights and provocation is through practicing mindfulness meditation. When you become more mindful of your negative thoughts, it is easier for you to deal with them and avoid turning them into things that can make tense situations in your relationship worse.

Tip #3. Encourage Better Communication:

One of the main culprits of bad relationship fights is a lack of good communication. Often, couples will keep their thoughts and opinions of each other to themselves, only to blurt them all out in an exaggerated fashion when they fall out about something. Instead, encourage the two of you to talk to each other calmly and openly about the things that you aren’t happy with, rather than waiting until a fight happens to get it all out. Again, this is something that a therapist can help with.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most
