The Complexity of Couples' Fights and the Search for True Intimacy

Couples often fight about various issues like domestic responsibilities, sex, money, and in-laws, but underlying these fights are deeper desires for justice, fairness, control, or the need to be heard. Fighting becomes an interaction that energizes or emboldens individuals. The way couples fight often stems from forgetting the reasons they chose each other in the first place and misinterpreting certain traits or behaviors. The search for true intimacy requires understanding and addressing the underlying emotions and motivations behind the fights.
