Relationships…they can be tough. I don’t know one single couple (married or not) that hasn’t had an argument or bad fight. Matter of fact, I believe it’s normal for couples to disagree and argue with one another from time to time. None of us are perfect.
With that said, I was sent a book to review and I’m going to tell you about it today.
Title: Disagree and Stay in Love – Tips for Fighting Fair
Author: Liz SuperLibrarian
ISBN: 978-0-9775872-7-8
This is a small paperback book that is filled with quotes and little tips on how to “fight fair” in your relationship. Each page has one quote or tip along with an adorable photograph. Most of the photos feature cute little animals.
Here’s an example:
“The best gift you can give your family is a happy relationship.” That page features a photo of a black & white puppy.
On another page you’ll read/see the following:
“Life isn’t black and white, check your thinking…find a middle ground.” On this page you’ll see a photo of a zebra who is thinking about his choices.
Here’s one more example:
“Smile first. Don’t wait for someone else to make you smile.” This page has a pair of donkeys on the page who are snuggling.
The entire little book is filled with quotes, tips and photos like this. It’s really not a self-help relationship book at all (at least in my opinion) and is more of just a little book to remind you that it’s important to fight and argue fairly.
The author states: “Perfect relationships don’t exist. Arguments will happen. Learn to fight fair and the love will last.”

I think this book is great. I love how the author combines each of her tips or quotes with an animal photo. The problem is in the middle of an argument it is too tempting to bring up something from the past. I always try to then say: wait that has nothing to do with this problem.
Well, I guess I should have read something like this before I was married! I had 2 disastrous marriages, and looking back, all parties were at fault (including me). One thing that drove me nuts when I would argue with my first husband was him bringing up something from the past to throw into the fight. To MY mind, that’s never fair!
(Book Review: Disagree and Stay in Love) Awe, this sure sounds like a great book to give your spouse or loved one for Valentine’s Day, I like all the neat quotes.
