I have been in relaionships and have had disagreements and arguments...I wonder do all relationships experience this? Is it not enough that we are drawn together naturally depending on personality and characteristics, both visually and intangible? Shouldn't that mean that we will "all get along"? Does this argument stuff comes with the territory of relationships? Well starting off, in rhetoric an argument can be defined as: "In logic, an argument is a set of one or more meaningful declarative sentences (or "propositions") known as the premises along with another meaningful declarative sentence (or "proposition") known as the conclusion."
Well within our realtionships, I'm sure that we have premises for what we state or declare. I would think that it is these premises that cause the arguments! But for our purposes I would agree with what CraftyJake has to say on his blog:"A disagreement is an issue at hand that the two sides don’t see eye to eye on. An argument is when it escalates and personal attacks arise."
My question is how can we remedy this disagreement/argument issue? Relationships are destroyed because of it, or they are made stronger. Bitter enemies grow out of them, and sometimes invite in third parties that either help of exacerbate the situation. AskMen.com says that men are pretty much ill-equipped to engage in arguments because of our nature to compete. Is this true? Furthermore they go on to say that arguing and disagreements are part of being a human. That's all fine and dandy but are ALL men competitve? I think not. Do ALL tend to be ill-equipped for this natural human occurrence of arguments? I don't think so. What do you think?
Also, I came across a website that takls about a no-argument relationship. Is it possible? What do you think now based on what they say...feasible?
