My boyfriend and I (both in our mid 20s) have been together for 3 years in January and have lived together for 3.5 years (we started out as just roomates). About a year and a half ago we moved 20 hours away from all of our friends and family to a new state. I used to be so ready for him to propose, but the more and more I think about it lately I don't know what i would say. We are always arguing and both of us always want to be right. Any suggestions on how to figure out what to do or how to make our relationship work better?? I just don't know if we would last if we did get married b/c of the arguing.

change your communications. go get some education on communication. that is what is wrong. don't get married unless you can change your relationship. i recommend
nonviolent communication by marshall rosenberg
active listening and
reflective listening
disciplines.
you must imporove your communication skills. you don't need him, you can do this on your own to improve the relationship.
take action if you want to keep it.

Someone have to be the bigger person. Arguements are gonna happen often, the best thing is to walk away and never go to bed mad at each other. Theres nothing wrong with marriage at least you really know this person by living with each other for so long being friends first is always a plus. Try to work on it, dont doubt. Best of luck!!!

when arguing occurs in a relationship you're just challenging the other person
if you can't take a challenge then just end it
