Spreading Peace One Relationship at a Time It was a year after meeting that we noticed we hadn’t had any arguments, and 10 years on from that, it’s still true.
Let us clarify our terms here. We have disagreements – things where we have different points of view – but they never,
ever, turn into arguments. We define arguing as a way of communicating that makes each partner feel separate from the other; it creates estrangement, a feeling of being on different sides, and manifests as shouting, anger, tears, ultimatums or withdrawal.
It’s been a while since we wrote some parts of our new book, so we’ve been reading it out loud to refresh our memory. Reading aloud reveals errors, clunkiness and cadence that a silent reading does not, and we’ve made some improvements that are small
enough not to upset the layout and cause a cascade of widows, orphans and page breaks. Aside from these few minor alterations, we are pleased to say it’s about ready for release.
This week we’re getting professional head shots, and business cards will arrive. The Marketing Monster moves into action!

Beware Of Mistaken Marriage Advice That "All Couples Fight" "'Fighting fair' from my perspective is still fighting. My own
belief is that emotionally mature and skillful couples don't fight at all. When they are mad, they pause to calm down. They then deal with the sensitive issue via quiet, cooperative talking."
In the following links, they espouse conflict as being inevitable, but they have some helpful advice.
How Conflict Can Improve Your Relationship " Communication is key to resolving conflict. The bedrock of good communication? Fully listening to your partner without building a case in your head of how your partner is wrong"
