Fixing Up Your Fights

When you and your girl first met, it was electric. And it was easy: You wanted to be around each other all the time, couldn't keep your hands to yourself (why would you want to, eh?) and you found yourself smiling in your cubicle as you read her latest text. The very best of relationships all begin with the strongest, most exciting of intentions and for good reason: Why else would you make it Facebook official if you weren't officially falling hard for this beautiful woman you met?

But, time goes on. The months pass. You have your first fight. You have trouble in the bedroom or you struggle to communicate how you feel. You turn different pages and can’t always read the same paragraph without disagreeing. While fighting is absolutely normal and healthy in a relationship, if you’re feeling like you've started to lose some of the luster you both had for one another don't let it overwhelm or defeat you.

In fact, many relationship experts agree that while deal-breaking type of issues (like one of you wants kids and the other doesn't) aren't as easy to overcome, other problems can work themselves out in just a week. No need to drag out a conversation or bring out those skeletons in the closet, instead try these simple and fun! tactics to make your relationship stronger in the next seven days.
