Well said Lisa, that's a good tactic to try out. Not that we argue alot. Actually, very very rarely, and it's usually something very silly, which resolves in a matter of minutes. I agree with what you said 100%. My mother once told me, no matter how big the fight, always sleep in the same bed. Never sleep on the couch. You are right, try never to go to bed angry.
Azzy, communication is key. The truth is sacrosanct. Never lie, always discuss. Your husband should be your best friend in life. You should be able to share everything, the good and the bad.
I know it's not always the case with some couples, but the couples that can accomplish this, even if their relationship didn't start out that way, are the ones that will last.
Too often couples so readily consider separation or divorce. It is a last option in a truly failed marriage, and should never be taken lightly. A good marriage is hard work sometimes; and that is why people should be careful before getting married. Having the 'hots' for someone and butterflies in your stomach won't make for a good marriage. Loyalty, companionship, friendship and honesty and real love without pride is the only true basis of a good marriage.
