Saw this article at Huffington Post and it caught my eye.
Marital Fighting Style: University of Michigan Study Predicts Divorce Based on How Couples Argue.
Basically. If you scream and yell, "destructive strategies", you're more likely to divorce.
If you calmly discuss the situation, look for solutions, "constructive strategies". . then you are more likely to stay married.
Go figure.
If one person is constructive, and the other avoidant (i.e. leaves the room, keeps quiet), it's bad for marriage.
Lesson learned: Stay in the room.
Kerplosh!
