An average couple will have between thirty and fifty significant
arguments a year - and yet we're seldom taught very much about why
they happen and how they could grow a little less intense. This is
a guide to arguments in love: it teaches us why they might occur,
what their symptoms are, how we could learn some wiser ways of
communicating and how we would ideally patch up after a fight. The
book looks at twenty of the most common arguments - including ones
about sex, money, in-laws, who is 'cold' and who is
'over-emotional' and the state of the bathroom and the finances. We
recognise our own antics but also pick up consoling and wise ideas
on how to skirt certain conflicts going forward. The tragedy of
every sorry argument is that it is constructed around a horrific
mismatch between the message we so badly want to send ('I need you
to love me, know me, agree with me') and the manner in which we are
able to deliver it (with impatient accusations, sulks, put-downs,
sarcasm, exaggerated gesticulations and forceful 'f *** yous'). A
bad argument is a failed endeavour to communicate; this is a
definitive guide to how we might argue better. 'The priority is not
so much to avoid points of contention as to learn to handle them in
less counterproductively vindictive and more gently strategic ways.
We need a lot help in order in order to acquire the complex art of
converting our poisonous arguments into effective and compassionate
dialogues.'
