When living a life as a couple, each member of the relationship is exposed to small arguments that arise in daily life due to small clashes of opinion. Such discussions, if they are not properly addressed and at the right time, can lead to larger arguments and touch fragile points in a couple's relationship. Next, we will specify some keys to avoid those toxic discussions that normally arise.
1. Learn to identify when a situation can lead to a problem. Some actions or situations can trigger future discussions, learn which of them is better to avoid.
2. Establish agreements in the relationship. Make pacts to maintain peace of mind and balance between the individuality and the complementarity of a couple.
3. Watch the power of words. In the couple, it is important to filter negative thoughts and words, because in moments of anger, quite harmful ideas can be raised that turn into hurtful words for one of the members.
4. Avoid taking actions that you know in advance will hurt your partner. If you know of something that may upset your partner, avoid it at all costs, this will save you the annoyance or possible discussion that may arise.
5. Maintain good communication. Problems are not solved by shutting them up or ignoring them. If you or your partner are unhappy with any aspect of the relationship, establish a dialogue about the matter in order to find some measure or solution.
6. Look for a higher level of maturity in the relationship. When you know the strengths and roots of the relationship, you know when a dispute moves the foundations of it. As you mature as a couple, you will find a way to strengthen those foundations that, in the end, will help you avoid arguments and problems.
