Our friends at psychcentral.com say it’s truly possible to fight fairly and in a friendly way. Differences mean you can learn from each other. Disagree healthfully by using these simple tools:

1. Embrace conflict.
2. Go after the issue, not each other.
3. Listen respectfully.
4. Talk softly.
5. Get curious, not defensive.
6. Ask for specifics.
7. Find points of agreement.
8. Look for options.
9. Make concessions.
10. Seek peace.
