Fights happen. It's a fact of life. Whether you've been with your significant other for weeks, months, or years, they're bound to happen occasionally. The good news is, the way you handle the aftermath of an argument— even one of volcanic proportion— can make all of the difference. Remembering a few helpful ways to recover after a big fight can not only help the two of you to make up quicker and move on to better things, but can even help you avoid fights in the future.
I don't know about you, but even after being with my SO for four years, our fights seem huge in the moment, but after we take a few minutes (or hours) to collect ourselves, they turn out to be pretty pointless and even silly. Marriage has taught me a few things about fighting fair, but the tools to help patch up the damage of an argument after the fact are perhaps the most important.
These tips aren't rocket science— they're pretty basic, actually. But when they're applied to real life and real arguments, you'll see real change and real make-ups. Because, as the phrase goes, the best things in life are worth fighting for.
