Couples don’t seek out arguments, but they are bound to arise from time to time. Many different factors come into play during a fight, and a healthy relationship is all about being able to handle them in the best way possible. We’ve pulled together five articles from our partners to explain why you and your love may be arguing:
1. You’re hearing what you want to hear: Sure, you’re hearing them speak, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re listening. You have to consider the emotions behind the words. For instance, your man may be saying that his boss is unfair, but what he’s really saying is that he wants to feel like his work is appreciated. So pay attention and be the shoulder he can lean on. (GalTime.com)
2. You’re using the wrong tone of voice: What you say and how you say it go hand in hand. Your tone of voice can add a multitude of connotations to a single phrase. Couples tend to misinterpret the different tones in the heat of the moment, but then they fail to talk about it. Open communication with your love is one of five important steps to a strong relationship. (YourTango.com)
3. You’re asking already answered questions: Nothing is worse than asking a question that’s already been answered, so sometimes, it’s best to refrain from asking questions at all. If he’s upset about something and you can’t quite understand what he’s saying, let him finish telling you what’s wrong. Or just take a cue from Kanye West, who supports his wife Kim Kardashian in everything she does, including throwing their baby an over-the-top birthday party. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
4. You’re avoiding the root of the problem: He’s probably not picking a fight about dirty dishes just because he despises your lack of care for clean cutlery. There’s usually a deeply-rooted problem in disagreements that a lot of couples fail to address. Try finding the source of the problem before the tension becomes unbearable. (GalTime.com)
5. You’re having the same unresolved arguments: You’re going to keep fighting about the issue until you come to a conclusion. As a couple, you need to sit down and discuss what’s really going on. Make sure you’re on the same page at the conclusion of the discussion so it won’t happen again. (YourTango.com)

What are some ways to prepare your relationship for a baby?
Cupid’s Advice:
Having a baby is a huge step in a relationship, and you’ll need all the preparation you can get. There’s no fail-proof way to raise a child, and you’re bound to run into some problems, but the more you prepare for the future the better equipped you will be to handle whatever life throws at you.
1. Spend time with kids and pay attention. If you have relatives or friends with young children, it might be a good idea to babysit or go to the park with the family. Watch how the parents interact with their children and take note of what does and doesn’t work.
2. Give each other tips in everyday settings. If you and your partner notice habits or behaviors that aren’t suitable for children, it would be helpful to politely point them out. Be careful not to come off as rude or condescending, but be sure you both realize what kinds of behavior changes need to be made.
3. Communication is key. Make sure you’re on the same page with everything, including schedules, parenting methods, and other questions that may come up over the next few years. Bringing up any possible conflicts beforehand is better than facing them when the child is already here.

It’s always nice to sit down and talk about how much your love has blossomed since you first met. Since spring is in full bloom, this is the perfect time to take a look back at your relationship. You and your partner can even create a special book to write down and document the moments you’ve most enjoyed with each other. We’ve pulled together these five articles from our partners to give ideas on which memories to highlight:
1. Saying hello: Every couple has a unique story about how they first laid eyes on each other. Don’t let that story fade from memory! Write it down as your own little love story so you can tell it with ease to your children and grandchildren someday. (YourTango.com)
2. Getting married: It’s time to mark down the day you took your relationship to the next stage: happily ever after. Continue your love story by adding pictures and special memories from the magical day you tied the knot. Attach little trinkets to the pages such as dried flowers or confetti to add an even more personal touch. (GalTime.com)
3. Picking out your first pet: There comes a time in almost every relationship where you become the parents of a cute little animal. Whether it’s is a puppy or a kitten, your first pet together is just as special as a child. Pets, much like children, need lots of love and affection, so this can be a good opportunity to see how your partner will be as a possible parent. They’ll also be there to snuggle on days when your sweetie needs to work late. (GalTime.com)
4. Having children: Having children together is a big step in a relationship whether you chose to go through pregnancy or adopt. These little bundles of joy will be your beckon of hope in the darkest of storms, so they deserve a special place in the documenting of your love story. Read how this family became advocates for adoption and how parenting has changed their relationship for the better. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
5. Learning lessons: Each relationship has their fair share of lessons that have been learned over the years. Writing these down can also give you something to look back on if your children ever look to you for relationship advice as they get older. Take some time to read through some of these love lessons and jot down a few of your own. (YourTango.com)

When it comes to love, it’s important that you have a close bond with your significant other. This truth holds for more than just romantic relationships but for friends and family as well. Take a few minutes to browse through these helpful articles from our partners to give you ways to improve your connections:
1. Enjoy the sunshine: When it comes to children, whether they’re your biological kids, step-children, or nieces and nephews, it’s important to hang out with them. Let them know how much they mean to you by taking the time out of your busy schedule to get outside and play. Trista Sutter recently shared how her and her children will be having fun this summer.

This idea shouldn’t be applied only to your romantic partner! It’s important to show your gratitude for everyone, especially your friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin. Check out some of these quotes about friendship to get the gears turning. (YourTango.com)
3. Be confident: Confidence is key — and that goes for both you and your man.

4. Be yourself: It’s easy to forget who you truly are, especially when you’re at the office. Workplace relationships are just as important as the one between you and your partner. In order to create an enjoyable environment, remember to stay true to yourself and never pretend to be someone else. For other ways to improve your interactions with your co-workers, check out these suggestions. (GalTime.com)
5. Find the right one: When it comes to dating, it’s tempting to create an elaborate list of things you want in a partner. Time after time, you find yourself saying, “He’s not my type,” but do you really know what you’re “type” is? Take the time to forge a connection with someone before writing them off completely. This approach will prevent you from serial dating and help you find exactly what you’re looking for. (GalTime.com)
