“Remember, as adults, we don’t need to always get our way, but we do need to feel heard and genuinely considered.”
― Crismarie Campbell, The Beauty of Conflict for Couples: Igniting Passion, Intimacy and Connection in your Relationship

“A bad fight is anything which does not help to move the relationship and the people involved forward. If one dominates the other, it will eventually be at the expense of the relationship. Everything depends on the intention. If the intention is to hurt, belittle, ignore, reject or win then good will struggle to come from that. If the intention is to wrestle with some boundaries and deal with unresolved issues then that is positive and important. Love for the other person and respect for their rights, as well as our own rights, will set a steady course for any argument. Of most value is a sincere desire to make the relationship work which, after all, is often why we fight. We want the relationship to honestly work.”
― Donna Goddard, Love's Longing

“Because—truth?—on the scale of significance, that stuff doesn’t even register.

What has me pushed past the boiling point...what has me really, really upset is learning the woman I thought was so incredibly strong I married her on the spot...is actually
a quitter who runs from challenge,
a coward too afraid to even try,
a liar who makes promises she won’t keep and
a cynic too bitter to believe what’s right in front of her face. Is that real enough for you?”
― Mira Lyn Kelly, Waking Up Married

“C'est tellement impudique, tu nous racontes tellement, je me retrouve à chaque page, mise à nu, disséquée, passée au crible, et j'ai l'impression de te découvrir, toi, certains aspects de ta personnalité dont je ne soupçonnais pas l'existence[...].”

That I'm ever going to let you forget? There will be 'Driving The Car Into The Lake' anniversaries. I shall commission a special card from Hallmark. There will be celebration cakes. We may even get a telegram from the King.”

fascination, independent growth, and robust personal adventures.”

“We allow for complexity, and therefore make accommodations for disagreement and its patient resolution, in most of the big areas of life: international trade, immigration, oncology... but when it comes to domestic existence, we tend to make a fateful presumption of ease, which in turn inspires in us a tense aversion to protracted negotiation. We would think it peculiar indeed to devote a two-day summit to the management of a bathroom, and positevely absurd to hire a professional mediator to help us identify the right time to leave the house to go out for dinner.
Without patience for negotiation, there is bitterness: anger that has forgotten where it came from. There is a nagger who wants it done now and can't be bothered to explain why. And there is a naggee who no longer has the heart to explain that his or her resistance is grounded in some sensible counter- arguments or, alternatively, in some touching and perhaps even forgivable flaws of character.
The two parties just hope the problems - so boring to them both - will simply go away.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love
