Have a healthier relationship by fighting fair

A big part of being healthy is having strong supportive relationships. It's impossible to have a "perfect" relationship, where there are never any arguments or fighting, so to keep things as healthy as possible try these three tips for fighting fair:

• You are together, so work together. Success and happiness take effort from both people.
• Try not to attack your partner with insults and stuff like "the silent treatment." No matter how upset you are, hurting each other (especially on purpose) will only make things worse.
• Keep it between the two of you. It's embarrassing enough to have private problems out there for everyone to see, but it's even worse if the very person you're trying to work things out with is the one who put them there.

Luckily for all of us, fighting isn't all bad. If done right, it can actually make a relationship stronger.
