For happy couples: How often do you argue?

Question

How often do you argue and how heated to the exchanges usually get? Also, what are the fights usually about?

Answer 1

LOL that's a loaded question. I love my husband so much and sometimes we get into arguments that are so freaking stupid that I can't even remember after we're done. I ask him "what were we even arguing about"?
But we're both fighters so we stand our ground! It doesn't happen too often :)

Answer 2

How Often Do Couples Argue

Answer 3

We've been married for 16 years, together for 20 and I can only think of a few heated arguments. To be honest I can't even remember what they were about now. Through the years we've learned how to discuss things before they blow up into something huge. We are both of the belief that any argument has an underlying deeper issue, maybe we've just worked all of those out? We get irritated with each other, maybe every few months or so but we talk and get over it rather quickly.

Answer 4

Happy couples normally have little cute arguments over silly things that will end in about 2 minutes. Like why didn't you pick up toliet paper, who left the shower curtain open, why didn't you fill the car with gas, things like that. However, the BIG one will come, and boy watch out. Because you are so in love and happy you don't know how that person is when there angry, so its a shock. Just communicate and don't hold grudges, lifes to short. You'll be fine.

Answer 5

We seldom ever argue,. We've got two arguments in two an a half years. One over him being tired, the other one when I was hungry and he was tired LOL! Things never get heated, we may get upset, but never disrespect each other. I hate fighting and he's a non-confrontational type of guy and we simply like being happy and have fun. We made it our duty not to fight because life is too short to be miserable and we just want to live a happy, fun life and keep our relationship healthy and longlasting. We let things cool down and then talk on a civilized manner. I guess that works for us. We both have great communication skills and have rules on how to handle a disagreement. Name calling and yelling is out of the question for example. We talk and converse towards a solution each time, regadless of the disagreement.

Good luck

Answer 6

My husband and I have never fought. We've been together for 4 years and married fo 2 and a half of those. Occasionally we have to talk things over, but it's never come to a full on, heated argument. We have very similar temperaments and are pretty laid back, but many couples can argue and make up just fine.

Answer 7

We argue about once a week over stupid stuff like him leaving his socks around and not using the hamper... or not cleaning after he builds something..... but they are not heated.

The only heated arguements we have had is- I'll say 6 of them a year.
1. Drinking and Driving- with his friends
2. Money- normally about buying a new home... he rather stay where we are in a grade C area cause it's cheap instead of spending the money to move to a grade A area.
3. Dumb sh*t that he thinks of.... like investing in a $2,000 water heater instead of replacing it with a $250 dollar one because he is convinced it's so great... and then this leads to the moving fight.
4. Dumb stuff someone told him that's not true.

Answer 8

I've been with my husband for five years, married for two. We're very happy but once in a while, maybe once every two or three weeks he'll do something that just sets off my temper and we'll have a huge row. Usually they're stupid fights about who gets to use the computer or something and they just get bad because we're tired or worried about work etc. One fight ended up with me locking myself in the bathroom cos I wanted time to cool off and him breaking the door down cos he wanted to resolve the fight!
The key has always been to take a few mins apart and both say sorry quickly. The rule about never going to bed angry is a mariage saver. Fights are easy to forget quickly if you can both say sorry afterwards whoever was wrong.

Answer 9

It isn't so much a matter of how often, it is as often as those hot button issues come up.

Last time was Thanksgiving evening driving home from my mom's. I can't now quite remember what started it, but I felt pissy and it ended with him going over his sister's house and me going to bed.

It doesn't get really heated, just some raised voices and maybe some name-calling.

Answer 10

We very seldom disagree. If we do, the disagreement does not get real heated as we have learned that staying calm and talking, or backing off the argument before it gets heated, works much better.

The disagreements are usually stupid - he'll be stressed out over something and get cross with me and I'll call him on it; tell him to calm down, etc. We ususally end up laughing. I very seldom get angry as I find humor in most situations.

I got intensly angry when he was unfaithful and he knew it; I did not mince words or my feelings about it all. That is the last time I can remember getting so upset I raised my voice.
