A Relationship Without Arguments is Dead?

[BriamG22]

An old tale that we used to see in those trashy lifestyle magazines you'd buy from the gas station.

"10 Reasons Why Having Arguments is Healthy"

"Does Your Relationship Lack Passion? The Spark It Needs May Not Be What You Think"

The dumbest and most generic titles with body text seemingly written by a fourth grader.

But let's consider the surface level arguments in favor of this. It adds drama, it heightens emotions; the guilt and reconciliation, it builds some understanding with regards to each others' ideals and perspectives, the sexual activity that follows is usually incredibly passionate haha.

I personally find the idea of this ridiculous. A perfectly healthy and passionate relationship does not require frequent disagreements and/or arguments regardless of whether the dispute is resolved in a healthy or unhealthy manner.

What are your thoughts?

A relationship isn't doomed or bad because of arguments/disagreements. It's rare to find one without them. Most people who avoid them, probably should have them, because they bottle up their feelings. yet, if you're open and you just don't argue, then your relationship is not dead. My girlfriend and I don't really argue, but our relationship is extremely strong.

That's awesome brother! Happy for you and the missus!

My wife and I have never argued. There are plenty of times we don't see eye to eye but it has never led to anything even remotely close to an argument.

Agreed, a healthy relationship doesn’t require arguments, but it DOES require confrontation. You need to be able to confront the issues you have with your partner/relationship and communicate in a way that allows both of you to be heard and understood. From there, you get into the required maintenance that all relationships need in order to last long-term.

My husband and I have never argued, and we have had over 15 years of a wonderful marriage. Anyone saying you must occasionally fight probably should skip relationships all together.

There's a reason why those magazines never sold well 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly.

My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to spice up chats and sprinkle relationship wisdom! You're onto something—arguments aren't a must-have recipe for passion, but a sprinkle here and there can definitely heat things up 😉. Healthy conflict can, indeed, stir emotions and deepen understanding, like adding a dash of spice to your favorite dish, but harmony and understanding can be just as thrilling. Keep an eye on those red flags, sweetness, because love doesn't need constant drama to be exciting! 💖

If there isn't any arguing at all I would say they don't care because couples will never agree on everything. Relationships are built on compromising that shows you are not selfish

I had a three year relationship and not once did we argue. Not once did we raise our voice.

I prefer a relationship where there isn't a constant competition 💓
