Great advice on how to argue and fight fair in a relationship:
- Treat the other person with respect
- Listen
- Summarize back what you heard
- Assure your partner that his/her feelings are valid
- Use “I” statements
- Don't get revenge
- Diffuse the anger
- Talk about your feelings rather than acting on them
