No one likes tension in a love relationship, however rushing the process of working through the trial can lead to resentment. Glossing over blowups, coughing up an apology out of obligation and not looking at the deeper meaning behind the argument can easily lead to emotional separation.

Ideally, I encourage couples to use these experiences to deepen their relationship. On the other side of the argument is an opportunity to learn more about the emotional trigger from your loved one's perspective.

Every situation that happens in your relationship is a point of learning about yourself. Even if you initially reject the accusation, it is important to honestly assess if there is truth in those statements. Your willingness to embrace a teachable attitude will enrich your relationship and lead to a more fulfilling commitment.
