Many peeps I know have knock down drag out fights in their relationship, and they say it is normal. So how many fights, weekly, monthly, yearly etc does a healthy relatioship suppose to have? We don't have any.

I'd say an odd argument here & there is normal..... but even 1 knock down drag out fight is not!

alls fair in love and war is completely false. there are rules to battle and never more so than while your opponent is your lover. my marriage and only relationship so far was not healthy. she was emotional, financialy and borderline physicaly abusive so I do not know how often a fight would occur in a good relationship...

Healthy couples do have major contentions. How often? Depends on the couple and the issues facing them. In my experience, each relationship that had a dating period wherein the gf and I did not argue, the relationship crashed and burned when it turned intimate. Someone was not being real. No two people will always agree. There were legitimate personality differences that were suppressed while we dated, but became the deal breaker when we were intimate. You do want to get along with your s/o, but a healthy relationship will have disagreements that even become loud. Some issues are that impassioned and if you never experience such an impassioned struggle with the person, then something is wrong. Passion is healthy to a point. Too much passion-- sexual, argumentative, or otherwise-- will destroy a relationship.

Up to you guys, there is no universal template. I rarely argue with wife, no shouting involved, a little bit of silence and then it is all over with no bringing it up again.
