It’s normal for couples to fight – isn’t it? When is a fight just a difference of opinion or a mild disagreement and when does it become an argument which leads to a destructive, hurtful fight? Should we stop the fight before it starts?
“How Can We Stop Fighting” is all about stopping the nasty accusations and hostility. Couples in thriving affectionate relationships do fight – however they fight in constructive ways which don’t harm their relationship. This book shows you the difference. Fights usually start with a difference of opinion, then escalate to a disagreement which is more animated, then to an argument with greater hostility. An argument typically has three stages of hostile oppositional strength.Hostility at stage one comprises of nasty attacking or defending words with throat tension and a raised voice. In Stage two both partners are yelling at each other, with facial expressions and body language clearly expressing heightened anger and frustration. When Stage two escalates to Stage three one or both partners start screaming nasty accusations at the other, threatening to divorce, using extremely vile language. This book shows you what to do instead..
