How to Argue Effectively
The motivation for doing so is only hurtful, so simply leave what's in the past there and focus on what's relevant now. Remember with whom you're fighting - this is your partner, not some stranger who's made you angry. Be respectful and mindful of his or her feelings - this is the person who you say you love, after all. Don't jump to conclusions when you think your partner has insulted you. Ask for clarification when you're faced with information you don't understand. Keep the goal of the argument in mind and finish the argument once that goal is achieved. Finally, don't let the argument stretch out indefinitely. There's nothing harmonious about the silent treatment or going rounds and rounds with your mate, only to end up empty-handed in the end.
