Can some friction help a marriage?

Friction in Marriage

Remember the saying, a gem cannot be polished without friction. Arguments can be the refining of a marriage. However, pay attention to the words you use during a fight with your mate. Eliminate those that don't say anything, such as "You're driving me up a wall," and re-phrase others. For instance, "You're breaking my back" could be changed to, "That really hurts me, and here's why."
