Really kinda boring. I always find a reason to argue , most times unintentionally. But like the above poster said, then we wouldn't really have an opinion.
You can only hope for that kind of relationship but really not possible. I'm sure even in Pleasantville, they argued once in awhile.
What would it be like if on a relationship there were no arguments ever? If they both agree on everything?
Depends on how you look at an argument. If you agree to disagree, then even arguments are not 'arguments' in the sense of being serious conflicts. I think it is useful and necessary to avoid serious conflicts in a relationship, as these are the fractures that can lead to break up. Couples need to know how to disagree. If they do that well, then they can 'argue', but it's rarely a problem. In fact, gaining different views without feeling that your own views are being threatened is a wonderful atmosphere to live in.

Thank-you Mark for injecting a much-needed different perspective. What you have said describes my marriage. And it is a wonderful atmosphere to live in. Maybe wisdom comes with age and one learns that the drama of a volatile relationship is an empty "excitement" we can live without. It is the second time around for both of us and the first time around we each lived with arguers - and neither of us wanted another high-drama relationship that was filled with bickering and angry words that need to be sucked back and forgiven and "made up" for. We wanted a relationship that in addition to an incredible sexual energy and a very real meeting of the minds, is also replete with respect and calm energy.
We do disagree on many things. We have very different views on many social and political issues - and we have dissimilar parenting methods - but we allow the other his or her opinion. We don't "fight" over stupid things - we don't argue over anything - we discuss and we come to a compromise. We are never rude to each other. And I mean never.
If that is "boring" I'll take it any day over the Jerry Springer relationships that are rampant in our society and the ridiculous stupid arguments that I hear about from co-workers.
