Is there a right way to fight in a relationship ?

It is safe to say that the Walk Of Shame Radio Podcast Tribe is no stranger to concept we touch on every single show that relationships are tough and take tons of work and communication.
 
This week Tony and I touch on the art of "fighting".
 
A lot of people think it is in fact, normal for couples to fight and if the fights aren't occurring on a regular basis something is wrong.
 
HELL NO!
 
This thought is EVERYTHING wrong with relationships and we are here to speak about the healthy balance when it comes to disagreements with you and your SO. 
 
First the term FIGHT rubs me the wrong way. As we are the engineers of our own mind I want to make clear my definition of a "fight" before we dive to deep into this conversation. 
 
Fight- Lack of communication that leads to one purposely saying harmful things leading to uncontrolled emotions. 
 
(While listening to this episode keep in mind when we say fight we mean)
 
Adult Disagreement- a disagreement between to individuals that are yet to be on the same page but have full potential to be aware of each others opinions. 
 
Before you dive into this episode here is a small piece of advice we speak about on tackling an issue right when it arises.
 
While doing this In an appropriate manner you are not letting the issue linger and evolve into a FIGHT.
 
The sooner you talk about your insecurities the sooner you get back to loving each other. Which is the point of sharing emotional space with this person that you chose to explore. 
 
Before you dive into this episode keep in mind...
 
  ...being passionate about your opinions is a beautiful thing, but what can become more beautiful is learning and growing together with someone who was once a complete stranger to you but by the grace of the universe, two individuals came together for a reason.
 
Enjoy! 

The Right Way to Fight in a Relationship

This is an encore presentation where Lexi and I share with you How to Effectively Communicate With Different Personality Types.

The point of the show this week is to expose the four most general personality types (known as the Personality Quadrant) and to explain each one so you can get some idea of where you fit. As an extra bonus, I have linked an online test in the show notes on my javabud.com website, where you can take the test in order to give yourself an idea as to which type of personality you associate with the most.

Once you have an idea of where you stand, you'll be able to see that other personality types see and hear and feel the world a lot different than you do.

This is the biggest cause of communication problems...because, even though you feel as though you're doing a great job explaining your point of view, the other person either isn't listening or just doesn't get it...which leads to you being frustrated...which leads to them getting frustrated...do you see where this is going?

So, that's why Lexi and I wanted to explain how to effectively communicate to someone that has a totally different personality structure than you do.

Also, we wanted to touch on the different communication approach needed based on the situation...you wouldn't want to communicate to someone that you are asking out the same way you would with your boss.

All of these questions and more are answered on this week's show.

Like I mentioned earlier, you can find more extensive show notes on my javabud.com website under the podcast tab.
