Is arguing healthy for a relationship?

Is arguing with your girlfriend a healthy thing? Now i dont mean arguing every single day but at least once a week over the smallest things. Sometimes we argue over bigger problems but usually its small things. Should i be concerned or is arguing a healthy thing for a relationship to get stronger? Advice please

I'd say that if your arguing every week over stupid stuff, then you both need to stop cause sooner or later your going to have a huge fight and it won't be fixable? best of luck

Well, define"aruging". I would say my boyfriend and I argue every once in a while, but we never fight. We never have any situations where we get angry and stop speaking to each other, or where things get thrown, or where we take a"break", or anything like that. Communication is key to any relationship.So, if you argue without any residual effects, it's okay. I wouldn't say it's healthy or unhealthy; it just is. You shouldn't have to argue, if you both have open, honest communication. But it happens with everyone at some point. Just keep it to a minimum.

arguing is healthy as long as you are working the arguements out and both still happy with the relationship! if you have bad fights all the time and stay mad then...no, its not. but every normal couple argues.
