We don't normally argue that much...more just bicker over silly little things...normally when he has said something in a totally guy way that comes out completely wrong and in a way that offends us females!

We don't really argue either. In fact hardly ever.
The one thing we've argued lately over has been Gina's lack of sleeping and how to handle it - still sorting this out but it has been left up to me to handle so no more arguing. Mind you it's me that's awake at 1am now!

We are such geeks- our main arguments are about politics, philosophy, society and race  DH was raised by very conservative, uneducated close minded people where as my parents are both very educated and liberal thinking so we have some very heated debates! I LOVE it  I don't think of myself as an argumentative person but I find it so stimulating arguing these kind of things with him.
Our proper, real life arguments were always about money- since we've been over here its not an issue anymore so life is pretty peachy  We disagree about little things but our arguments are few and far between- when we do have them its usually about his family or me not getting my own way about something.

Now there's a good point Jennz, we 'debate' similar kinds of things here too, but I wouldn't call them arguments - our latest one was over whether NZers should have "the right to bear arms" after those beatings on the North Shore in Auckland.

Housework and money mostly. Money arguements are getting fewer and fewer but division and completion of household tasks is causing a few problems atm.

money here, he thinks because he works for the money he should get most of it. I only ask for money to buy the kids stuff never for myself while he has a $10k car sitting in the garage that he is always buying bits for, its wheels are worth more than my whole car but he thinks he deserves it because he works.

All sorts. The sorts of things that we 'find' to argue about change all the time though. We've argued about dishes, washing, money, cars, jobs, all sorts....... I think because we've argued about, learnt from it, come to a happy median and moved on.
DH was a single person for a long time and I'm a worse case scenario Taurus!!
Arguing is healthy in my opinion as you're challenging each other but also learning from each other. I think when you have an argument over something with someone you should be learning just as much about them as you are about yourself. We always argue with a respect for each other if that makes sense??
When I'm grumpy and tired I always warn DH and vice versa by simply saying I'm tired and grumpy so you have to love me lots tonight. That way we don't bring up anything 'challenging' like mowing lawns, doing dishes or anything that could be taken as criticism when you're already feeling grouchy.

We don't really argue over much, we do sometimes get on each others nerves when we are tired, hungry or hot.

Yeah Aprilfools, I agree that arguing can be healthy. So long as you can fight fair and there's an end to the argument, it can turn out to be a good thing! We argue about renovations (yes, I can sense some of you rolling your eyes!) and also about DH charity-working on so many other people's houses instead of ours... and I'm not saying that I'm always right in these arguments either. We see money issues differently, and did right from the start, so every now and then something will pop up about that and we'll have a doozy. But something I really appreciate about DH is that if an issue needs to be worked through he'll usually go there rather than brush it under the carpet and hope for the best. We're fiesty, but that works for us.

I also find Little Treasures a little hard to swallow!
Anyway - we don't fight that much, but when I was prego with Cohen and he had been having a bit too much fun at golf (came home plonked and I was totally OTP emo) I let rip.
I don't want to give away too many details, buts lets say he didn't appreciate potato salad all over his golf clubs!
I can laugh now, but I the time I though they should have arrested me for having a third child when I was a total wreck already with two....

We don't really argue but DH gets really annoyed at nearly every other car driver on the road! From the minute we set off anywhere he starts whinging about them all! Drives me mad!!
Then when he gets together with his Dad he has the same conversation again!!!!
Arrgghh!!
Love him to bit though:)
