Don’t worry, you don’t have to go to couples counseling if you don’t want to. You can do these things before you go to counseling.

When it comes to fighting you have to remember a few things. This includes knowing that your relationship will have its bad day and that fighting is completely normal. Now with that said, there is a clear difference between normal relationship issues and toxic things. If at any time you feel that what you are going through is toxic, then you should seek external help. Now back to the normal fighting. There are a number of things couples will fight over.

Yes, that’s right, couples can fight about anything and everything. When you do have these fights all you need to remember is that you love your partner. This even means loving them through the fights. Once the fight is over simply take the time to reflect on your behavior during the fight and what your partner had to say. Try doing this when your head is a bit more clear. Doing this will help you approach your partner with a solution to your issue and then you will both be able to see the situation from a different perspective. But remember fighting is normal and you guys will make it through it.
