If you think that the only way to live "happily ever after" is to never fight and always agree with each other, then you're mistaken. Even the best of couples have a fight once in a while. Harsh words are said, voices are raised, and tears flow, but as long as the couple knows how to resolve their fight, it's alright. One of the key secrets of having a successful relationship is not going to sleep angry, according to longterm couples. But, is it really possible to do that? Sometimes, fights get dragged on for days until one of the two takes a step forward. But, when the "making up" happens, everything feels okay again.
Every couple has a different rhythm and work out their problems in their own way. It's like a sigh of relief when both of you are ready to talk and make amends. It doesn't feel like there are dark clouds over you anymore. Even while resolving the fight, sometimes tears flow as real feelings come out. All that you had bottled up comes pouring out because you want your partner to know why you got angry.
Here are some illustrations that show how a strong couple fights and then resolves their issues:
