quote:
If you squabble a lot with your sweetie, don't think that things will improve after getting hitched. New research shows that conflict levels don't vary much over the course of marriage. (The good news, conversely, is that if you get along well, you're likely to continue along that same trajectory.)
The new research by Ohio State University researchers also showed that satisfied marriages can take many forms. Just because a relationship isn't tranquil doesn't mean it's unhappy. Likewise, a marriage devoid of fighting doesn't necessarily indicate happily-ever-after.

I garee. My folks never fought, not even in private. They had their disagreements but never believed in arguing in front of us, swearing or raising their voices.
Naturally when I was in my first relationship, I learned that that is not the norm. I think arguing, moderately, is healthy.

When I hear people say "we never have a cross word" that makes me think that just mean they don't communicate at all about anything that matters.
