Fighting Fair Can Give Your Marriage A Fighting Chance

All is fair in love and war, but what if you’re at war with your love?
We now know why some couples have a fighting chance despite fighting often.
Sharon Osbourne says she fought with her famous husband for years, often going to blows.
But, the couple renewed their wedding vows back in May.
One couples therapist says partners who fight fair are the ones who tend to stick together in the long run.
Here are the five things you should keep in mind when an argument starts.
First, Keep your cool.
If things get too heated, take a break before saying something you can’t take back.
Also, be polite.
Don’t interrupt and try to control the conversation.
Focus on the present.
Don’t bring up old grievances, it just makes the argument worse.
Don’t lash out.
Name calling only takes attention from the problem.
And finally, say you’re sorry.
It’s the quickest way to resolve a conflict.
