Couples that learn how to argue well can get more done. Because the root notion of argument is more along the lines of debate, not battle, and when we can manage difference with intimacy, integrity, and intention, then we can actually find ourselves becoming closer.
Because people are different, you are different. And when you marry someone you are signing up to spend your life with someone whose difference will be in your face all the time.
