Arguing- Healthy or Not?

    I posted this once before, but it was almost immediately deleted. But it's a serious question, and I'm not breaking any rules, so I figure it was just a mistake..

    Is it healthy to argue with your significant other? I have been told lately that it is, because it brings you closer together. However, I almost never argue with my boyfriend, except a few minor things, and I think that we're great the way we are.

    I'm just looking for more opinions on the matter. Is it healthy to argue, or not?

    It`s pretty healthy . Depending what you argue about . But just because you don`t argue much doesn`t mean your relationship isn`t healthy . Problems & Arguing are always normal in a relationship . If you can work it out, it does seem to bring most closer . So yeah, I guess it is pretty healthy . But I, personally, don`t like arguing with a significant other . It makes me think we won`t work out x]''

    Hahaha, if you don't argue...that's just plain weird, HOWEVER, that is also very wonderful. If you have nothing to argue about, don't start an argument just because you heard it's the "healthy" thing to do in a relationship. Many relationships benefit from arguments here and there, yes, it does make the bond tighter you could say. We learn from eachother when arguing, relieve tension and misunderstandings..it allows growth, stimulates growth if you will. If you don't argue, great, but if you one day do, don't ever think it's the end of the world. If you split after an argument, it honestly wasn't meant to be. Arguments should make you closer, never create distance.

    Oh, on a further note, any relationship ruled by arguing is an unhealthy one, unless you both take extreme pleasure in arguing...in that sense, you are both unhealthy people!

    I think if you don't argue, then there tends to be a lot of things built up between you. which later on can cause major problems and even end the relationship. I don't know if I worded that right, but hopefully you know what I mean.
