Argument is a NO in a relationship that must last. Arguments and thunderous emotions are fuelled by ego and pride which makes it hard for either partner submitting or accepting to lose,when couples involve in this arguments little do they know that what kips d argument raging is what is tagged "LOSS AVERSION"
Loss aversion is a situation where by no one wants to accept "defeat" in an argument,couples who argue a lot do that because of pride and ego, instead of walking away, they choose to stay,hammering back and forth on issues that is so over nagged that it has lost relevance. The more couples argue without submission to common sense, the relationship suffers. Each irritational argument weakens the relationship. The first thing that will be thrown off the board of course is respect,after which affection follows quickly in no time,love too escapes and the marriage ends.
To overcome argument in marriage,couples must understand that nobody wins in an argument and that one of the partner must submit to the other. it is a sacrifice that should be checked-they are responsible for the impasse in most cases, so couples should try n manage their pride n ego.
Another very important way you can overcome arguments in ur home or relationship is to kip ur temper in check. in d cause of any situation that could trigger argument, try not to flare up,control your temper, u either find a way to get urself occupied or distracted by something, else u don't hv to say anything because u might say what u might regret later. To avoid arguments,always call to explain your side of any situation to ur partner in a relaxed tone and in a peaceful manner. it is suicidal to bottle up ur frustrations-but talk to ur partner when d mood is not tensed and when u re equally not angry.
Another issue dat causes argument in marriage is financial infidelity. couples should be open about finances so dat each will be on d same page as to what is d financial state of the union. this will help nurture financial trust and also end arguments.
Lastly, learning to forgive your partner is a very important way of overcoming arguments in marriage. often times what led to the arguments are sentiments of past happenings that was not forgotten. couples should forgive each other in case of any misunderstanding. it is only human that will err but we must understand that forgiveness is a must too in marriage. God help us as we put it in practice.

For me, it is better to learn how to handle argument than to avoid arguments in marriage / relationship.
We learn a lot about someone when they are emotionally tipped.

The best marriages have their own fair share of arguments. As long as it doesnt turn to a shouting match and an avenue to insult.

Arguments are healthy in marriages. We are not emotional zombies we agree and disagree hence arguments help us articulate our differing opinions then come to a consensus.

Arguments are not fights, they shouldn't get physical or too low. Two adults are allowed to disagree on issues then find a common ground or a compromise point.

I disagree that arguments leads to Infidelity, one who cheats because his or her spouse argues with him or her just wants to cheat. You don't cage your spouse into silence, the marriage or relationship will be fake and boring.

I want to watch soccer he wants to watch crime and investigation, we argue, we agree on flipping channels interchangeably we have the best of both worlds.

Arguments are not caused by ego, but because no two human beings are the same and before you meeting thebcenter you may be coming from extreme ends.

Key is learning to argue healthy, no insults no violence and knowing there must not be a winner and looser at the end of the argument it is for your growth and development as a couple not one happybthe other defeated.

Ladies and gents, I lie?

egopersonified: The best marriages have their own fair share of arguments. As long as it doesnt turn to a shouting match and an avenue to insult.

I totally agree.
Many times when you ask couples who are at war what started the whole thing, they cant really remember or its something minor, but its what they both said and did after the initial argument that sticks

One has to know when to step back and take a breath of fresh air and one even has to choose ones "fights" wisely; what is the point of arguing and stressing over him leaving the pot lid open when he has been doing it since 1952 and youve told him a million times not to do it but he still keeps on doing it?

Its not the arguments that kill the relationships; its what people say and do during/after arguments that kill it. Its the refusing to cook/eat, make love, keeping malice, seeking revenge, the insults etc that kill the relationship
