You argue a lot -
Fighting isn’t necessarily a sign of a broken relationship, says Syrtash. “It means you trust each other enough to share your feelings,” she says. The key is arguing without attacking your spouse’s character. And when you hear him out out and solve misunderstandings, you're strengthening your bond. Even recurring fights aren’t cause for concern. "Couples tend to recycle arguments,” says Syrtash. “Identify what you keep arguing about when you're not in the heart of a fight. Try, ‘I know you don't like the way I clean the kitchen, but it looks clean to me when I'm done. How can I make you feel better about it?’ Listen, and then mention what triggers you and why it's important to you.” One caveat: If you're constantly arguing about things that you can’t change about each other, like personality traits, you have to decide whether or not you can live with them
