The Healthy Benefits Of A Couple’s Fight

There’s no one that appreciates fighting especially not when it involves a partner but a relationship can’t thrive on bottled-up emotions and tolerance; It is bound to break therefore, fights can be considered the better option as long as it’s constructive and reasonable.

There are very healthy benefits of fighting in relationships:
Weirdly,
 it increases the trust between you both because it allows for you both to express yourselves emotionally while avoiding abuses. You see there’s something about going through a sort of constriction (as it were) in the relationship and coming out on the other side. It just strengthens the trust because you know that even in the worst fights (which are bound to come up), you still have each other’s back.

You automatically feel better (and lighter): Being able to express your true feelings helps to release tension, anxiety and fear. You feel like a weight is off my shoulders but beyond that, it is a healthier state when you let go of anxiety and unnecessary stress or any harmful hormones. This doesn’t mean that you should dump any unrelated problems on your partner though but it is important to vent and let go. Keeping your emotions bottled up will only cause you to be rigid within and without which could be very unhealthy for you.

It increases intimacy: Make-up s*x anyone? Everyone knows that the bedroom business is on another level after a fight. There is a crazy need for each other at that moment that can’t be reproduced in any other way or moment. There is a deeper appreciation for each other intimately and sexually also, all those hormones flying around can be good too.

It takes out the false cloak of perfection: In a relationship (before all the fights and quarrels), there is always that want for perfection; each person trying to ignore the flaws and exaggerating the qualities. As good and enjoyable as that is, it is also unhealthy. Fighting will help you see clearly that you are both human and you both have flaws which might most times be offensive to the other person hence, you are prompted to each work on your flaws and be better people all round.

It helps you both understand each other best: There’s no other way to be quite vocal or serious as when it comes up in a fight. Putting volume and intensity to a particular situation, opinion, like or dislike will definitely get the attention of a devoted partner. As much as it might bring out the worst, it still helps you get to know all the facets to your personalities thereby helping you adjust better and more effectively for the overall wellness of the relationship.

It helps promote respect for each person’s individuality: Some people get lost in their relationship thereby leaving their true nature and personality behind in the thrill of love and companionship and it’s easy to get comfortable in that space overlooking any differences. However, a fight can open up the values of having differences as individuals and accepting each other just as you are thereby, building respect for your choices and paths in life.

It builds character like nothing else: Fighting is like forging steel. It reforms you and it strengthens you. What else can be considered as a way to build character? It increases your ability to care for your partner and most of all, it increases your patience.
