It’s normal for couples to have a misunderstanding; these things happen, but if care isn’t taken, this misunderstanding can quickly escalate and ruin the relationship. The love and bond that was once shared will become broken, and if the fights become too frequent, the relationship will continue to suffer.
These tips will teach you how to stop a fight before it even starts.
1. FORGET PAST DEEDS
A major reason couples tend to fight and argue over even the slightest of things is because they still harbour past deeds in mind. When your mind isn’t at peace and still remember some of the things your partner has said and done from the past, you’ll tend to have frequent fights with your partner over little things.
2. DON’T TAKE EVERYTHING SERIOUSLY
Don’t take every word and action of your partner personal. Learn to be in control of yourself and your emotions; if you take everything seriously, you’d end up having unnecessary fights with your partner.
3. KNOW YOUR PARTNER’S TRIGGER FACTORS
Try to discover what triggers your partner into being unhappy and angry; just as you should know your partner’s strongpoints, you should also know your partner’s weaknesses. Know what triggers your partner into showing his/her other side.
4. KNOW WHEN TO BACK DOWN
You mustn’t win every argument, you mustn’t be in control of every situation; it’s important to know when to back down. This might be the greatest decision you could make; this could save your relationship from a lot of drama.
5. APOLOGISE
If you are wrong, learn to apologise; no need to be puffed up and show pride — else your relationship will suffer. Learn to apologise; it doesn’t mean you are stupid, it only shows just how much you value your relationship.
6. FORGIVE
Learn to forgive, learn to move on and learn to let things go. When you have a forgiving nature, you’d feel at peace and your relationship will be peaceful. Those frequent fights and quarrels will be a thing of the past.
If you are tired of having those fights and quarrels with your partner, these tips will take your relationship to the next level, in that you’ll end every fight before it even starts.
