How to Fight Fair By Dr. Phil
How you argue — especially how you end an argument — can determine the long-term success or failure of your relationship.
A primary requirement for any fight is to maintain control. You do not have the license to be childish, abusive or immature. If you have legitimate feelings, you are entitled to give a reasonable voice to those feelings in a constructive way. (That includes not being self-righteous or taking yourself too seriously.)
"Disagreements are going to occur," says Dr. Phil. "The question is, do you go into it with a spirit of looking for resolution or do you go into it with a spirit of getting even, vengeance, control? You'll never win if you do that. If you make your relationship a competition that means your spouse has to lose in order for you to win. It's not a competition, it's a partnership."
Here are Dr. Phil's specific rules for fighting fair.
1. Take it private and keep it private.
2. Keep it relevant.
3. Keep it real.
4. Avoid character assassination.
5. Remain task-oriented.
6. Allow for your partner to retreat with dignity.
7. Be proportional in your intensity.
8. There's a time limit.

Ten Reasons to Celebrate the Empty Nest By Coaching Circles Staff Writer Comments (0) Feeling a little wistful as you wave goodbye to your child as she drives off to college? Here are ten reasons to look forward to life beyond raising the kids:
- Enjoying dinner in bed.
- Taking up flirting again.
- Running around the house naked.
- Finishing whole sentences, even conversations.
- Making it through dinner without the phone ringing.
- Remembering why you fell in love in the first place.
- Meeting your friends for a spontaneous round of drinks.
- Completing a meal without once saying "quit playing with your food."
- Indulging yourself on a spa visit with the extra money you save on groceries.
- Kissing passionately in the living room without hearing someone say "yuck!"
Marital Conflicts Without Casualties by Dr. Greg Smalley My wife, Erin, and I had the opportunity to honeymoon in Hawaii. Ever since I was a young child, I've dreamed of climbing a breathtaking Hawaiian waterfall and jumping into the crystal clear pool below. Just like I'd imagined it, we found the perfect spot; however, there was a NO SWIMMING sign posted.
You and I
Have so much love
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share one bed. free
“Male Sexual Issues” by AAMFT
Couples today expect more out of sex and intimacy than in any point in history. free
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be a shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness for you,
now there is no more loneliness.
Now you are two bodies,
but there is only one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place
to enter into your days together.
And may your days be good
and long on the earth.
