What is serenity?

Question

why do couples fight?

Answer 1

In a word, serenity is peace. Couples fight for many reasons. Men and women think differently about love, money, raising children, inlaws, social activities, world events, health, sports and even cooking. Even people of the same gender think differently because of the difference in their personalities, their upbringing, and their beliefs and ethnicity. When two people fall in love, probably the last thing they consider is how compatible they will be in the years to come if they marry. Some never consider it all, and it comes as a shock to discover that the man or woman of their dreams has fallen off the pedestal. My advice to any couple about to make a lifelong commitment is to make sure your ideals and ethics are at least similar, and if not, to try and reach a compromise. The idea is for love to grow stronger, long after the honeymoon is over and passion is but a distant memory.

Answer 2

oooohhh...it's like two questions in one :>)
OK - I assume both are relational, so.....
1) Serenity is being able to accept myself for who I am while also acknowledging the parts of me that I don't really want to change regardless of how my someone else (ie my partner) might want me to...and;
2) Couples fight when one or both parties want to interfere with serenity of the other (as described above) by forcing/demanding change.
I guess it's important to go into any relationship with no expectation that you can change the other person -- only they can do that, and only when they're ready.
Hope that helps.... good luck!!

Answer 3

First question first: Power struggles


Second question: Being comfortable inside your own skin. Having your own set of values that makes you fearless to express them. Humor. Intelligence.
