The wise & old always claim "communication is the key" to a successful marriage.
Of course, ever since being children we like to learn things the hard way & not always take heed to advise. Its a part of growing up i guess, like life experience & testing boundaries. One day we meet our chosen loved one & invest in them a life sacrifice commitment. Yes love has a large element of choice, & not just chemical connection (e.g. successful arranged marriages in some cultures).
Arguments can be destructive, they test boundaries, but also establish boundaries. It expresses emotion & hence is a form of communication.
- Is it good not to argue?
- Can a relationship grow without establishing boundaries?
- Is it good to argue?
hmmm, food for thought.

What is the difference between "No Contact" & "The Silent Treatment"?
This sounds more serious than whats on the surface.
" The Silent Treatment", "Stonewalling", or "Cold Shoulder", is a method of conflict un-resolution that can have chronic, damaging effects on relationships.
"A relationship is the secrets you share with somebody. That's what makes a relationship special," George-Sturges said. "When you stop communicating, then what else are you doing? There's nothing else there if we are not sharing our thoughts, our ideas & our feelings.
Thoughts, stories or experiences anyone?
