The thing is disagreements are a fact of life. It is all in how a couple goes about "fighting." To fight fair. not to duke it out or agree with your partner and then do it your way...
Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it hilarious to see people in their 80's and 90's bickering or arguing!LOL........

What, a real marriage is supposed to contain cussing, fighting and screaming It's very possible to have a real marriage in which there's little to no disagreement. As long as both people talk to each other in a calm, respectful manner about any disagreements that may arise, they'll get more solved that way than a knock-down drag out fight.

Oh, at their age they don't cuss and some can barely walk anymore so there isn't any physical fights. It's all about wits and knowing your partner and their faults for over 50 years!LOL.........

It'd be hilarious to see an elderly couple having a knock-down drag out fight. I'd die of laughter. You can do more damage hitting below the belt than you ever could with any screaming or physical fighting

For example: "You farted last night"! "So, you lost control of the can opener and chopped up the counter"! "So, you backed the car into the garage door yesterday"! LMAO......... Yeah, I know I'm weird like that but it is hilarious!LOL........

conflict encourages growth. a relationship with no conflict is not a healthy one.

Only if the conflict leads to positive change in both parties. You can have growth without conflict. It's hard but it can be done. It's all about cutting off any opportunities for arguments. A relationship with conflict is not healthy if it's not accompanied by change.

If they're happy and not just hiding their misery, why analyze it? Some people are just very good together. I know a few couples like that. Very few, but it does happen.

In a relationship, there has to be resolution or management (since not all conflicts are easily resolved) of conflicts, if the man and woman want to live contently. this in itself leads to growth. Conflict would also lead to greater understanding of each other's needs, and could build a stronger bond.
