" I would lean towards an argument is "just" words, but a fight has a physical element? (With some overlap between, and not meaning to imply that words cannot wound.) "

" Though then it might just be a discussion rather than an argument.

Discussions are healthy.

I don't know whether I can give an actual level/gauge/guide for when things become unhealthy other than the "obvious" like physicality.

Shrug. I'm not smart enough to define my thoughts. :D "

" what do you think about the adage that its healthy for a couple to argue?
or that NEVER arguing isn't healthy for a couple? "
