3. You can argue constructively.
There’s this awful belief that “loving couples fight” that needs to stop being repeated. Every couple disagrees, but a “fight” is way different than an “argument,” people! One is destructive and the other doesn’t have to be.
A loving couple is able to express their own individual views in a conflict and listen to what the other person has to say without undermining the issue at hand, hurling belligerent insults, or tearing apart the relationship as a whole. Even if tempers flare or feelings get hurt, a healthy argument maintains mutual respect while working toward a solution. That’s what love looks like.
