The Argument-Free Marriage
Fawn Weaver—founder of “The Happy Wives Club” blog and author of The Argument-Free Marriage—discusses how every couple can lay the groundwork to create a marriage free from arguments. Every couple has certain topics that are triggers for an argument. In those moments right before an argument, the key is to pause and realize that you and your spouse are not speaking from a place of vulnerability and, therefore, are no longer communicating effectively. Instead, pause, step back, and investigate the “original emotion,” or the true emotion that is driving the argument and work forward from there. When both spouses can speak from a place of vulnerability, an argument-free marriage is possible.
