There are several measures you can take to avoid fighting with your boyfriend. As you may know, fighting is one of the proven ways of causing break-up in relationships.

Allowing it in your relationship is a sure way of troubling its peaceful waters. However, before we proceed we need to understand what fighting is and why it is important to mitigate its occurrence in any relationship.

In layman's language, fighting can be physical where one uses force or physical objects on another person, or it can be verbal where either parties or one party is engaged in a fierce exchange of bitter words.

Either way, it is bad for the life of any relationship and should be condemned in the strongest terms possible.

One thing you need to do to lessen your chances of fighting with your partner is get engaged in some productive activity most of the time.

The saying goes that an idle m ind is the Devil's workshop and this is very true in a relationship. When you are idle, your mind is likely to engage in unproductive activities and mischief, which only serve as catalysts for fighting.

On the other hand when you are engaged in something constructive, your mind is geared in a positive direction and you are not likely to get that time to behave in the opposite manner.

Secondly you need to be open and submissive if you're going to control fighting in your relationship. Fighting is caused where both parties have reached a stalemate and are unable to solve their problems amicably.

Being submissive will help you to respect and accommodate your boyfriend's ideas. This is one step towards reaching a meaningful conclusion to your issues.

If you remain rigid and conservative, your boyfriend might find it difficult to work with you and resort to fighting.

If your relationship has been characterized by fighting in the past, you need to win your boyfriend by chang ing your attitude. Just change your way of reasoning, and how you approach touchy situations which are likely to cause fighting in a relationship.

When he notices this change on your side, he will also review his reactions and finally peace will prevail. At the same time, you need to have a balanced way of looking at your relationship so that you don't just heap blames on your boyfriend without looking at your own mistakes first.

Throw in some doses of love as it crowns everything. You will realize that fighting has stopped without having to do myths.
