I thought this article from Modern Mom, “23 Ways to Fight Fair with Your Husband” by Tina B. Tessina, Ph.D., was one of the most useful on the topic I have ever read. I’ve probably violated every one of these rules at one time or another, and it is with that tarnished history that I say these are good fighting rules to live by.

this article is similar to one of the many written on this topic. No new info, same old stuff.
John, Are you unable to stop fighting by following these guidelines? If you have a real question, I’d be happy to answer it. Chronic problems take chronic solutions. That’s why the advice sounds familiar—because it’s what works. When couples are no longer fighting, we won’t have to keep repeating this stuff.
Tina, you are right. The advice given in the article is quite good and practical. Thank you for that. When I said “no new info”, I simply meant that I have seen this type of advice before in different books/articles. However, it’s good advice. Should work. Thanks.
Great post. I find the difficulties and choices made by couples in how they resolve disputes to be fascinating. Learning “how” to fight is an important skill for any couple. I’d love to read more on this topic.
Here’s a recent article I particularly enjoyed on couples’ fighting fair: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/thems-fightin-words/
I’d love to see more like it. Thanks!
