Short YouTube video (Jacqueline Elliott, uploaded Sep 28, 2024) arguing that fighting is a normal and necessary part of intimate relationships. The speaker defines "fighting" as arguing to reach resolution (not physical fighting), emphasizes that absence of fights indicates lack of intimacy, and frames healthy fights as brief, resolution-focused exchanges rather than battles for personal victory.

Everybody freaking fights. If you don't fight, then you're not alive. There's not true intimacy in your relationship if you don't fight. By fighting, I don't mean by freaking physically fighting, I'm fighting. Fighting is basically an argument where you have to go and say something and you don't agree with it and then you go through it. You have a five minute fight and then you fight for resolution is what I call it, you know, not for personal victory. You don't get historical. You go and you know that everything is going to be okay.
