How to Win a Fight TogetherRelationship Fight

Seeing the conflicts in your relationship as battles where there’s a winner and a loser isn’t really healthy, but there is a way where you can both win by getting better at compromising and getting over disagreements.

Find out how to win a fight together without any hurt feelings and without anyone feeling unappreciated or belittled. If you both put aside any need to be right all the time, consider each other’s feelings and what’s best for your relationships, you can reduce the number and intensity of your fights.

Don’t Start It

The best way to win a fight is to simply avoid starting it. Even if your guy is dead set on having an argument, don’t allow yourself to get heated or raise your voice. Regardless of what you feel about who’s to blame in this scenario, take it upon yourself to avoid the fight.

Show Empathy Before Expecting It

When you simply can’t diffuse the situation, one of the best ways to win a fight together is to show empathy. But before you demand it from him, make sure that your man understands that you do see his point of view, and respect his arguments. Once he realizes you’re not being irrationally defensive, he’ll stop it too, and have an easier time understanding where you’re coming from.
