Hi, I'm sorry for the long post ahead; please skip it if you don't have a few minutes to spare.
English is my third language, so I apologize for my not perfect English grammars.

Now to the questions..
Sometimes I come across articles online say that "Arguing can make relationship healthier.", "Arguments can be healthy for marriage.", "Arguing can be the key to a long and happy relationship.", etc...
I thought this can be something that can be discuss about---Do arguments make relationship/marriage healthier? Are arguments helpful in a relationship/marriage?

Sometimes a little arguments here and there is not always bad right? It can help to learn more about each others difference, as we learn to compromise more with each others as we go.
Can you help by share with me your story and your experience in your marriage, did arguments help your marriage? Does arguments make your relationship/marriage healthier like what those online articles say?

------------------------------------------

The problem is me and my husband we just don't argue. He never pick fights with me, he just won't argue with me.. NEVER once he raise his voice on me, let alone have arguments with me.
Our marriage is peaceful, too peaceful. When we live with each others prior to marriage, we didn't argue. After we married, we still haven't argue, at all.

My husband is the type of guy that have No problem with facing his own emotions. He strongly believes in communication, talk it out together and solve the problem together.
He always says "Baby, talk to me".. He wants me and him--both make the effort to communicate to each others.
Any argument/disagreement will not bring it to our bedroom or hold off till next day or weekend.

He is the type of husband that believe in: We will wait till after the kids sleep, and we will sit down on the dinner table calmly talk about the problems and work it out together.
He doesn't want to bring any arguments into the bedroom, he make sure he see my smile before we go to sleep.
He do try everything he can to make me happy.

He is a very level headed, it nearly impossible to tip his balance scale. Frankly I'm a very difficult girl to live with, I can be exhausted. But he very patience and very understanding, he just a very balance guy.
When we don't see eye to eye on things, he calmly say his preference, he just very calm.

He works long hours. I always cook dinner wait for him home, we do eat dinner together and talk. I wash dishes, he cleans the kitchen. He help me wash dishes too.
Afterwards he watch News, and we go to bed at the same time. We also wake up at the same time, we eat breakfast together before he leave to work.

He is an affectionate husband; when he home he always give random kisses. Intimacy/sex is fine between us too.
He help around the house, he do all the heavy cleaning and maintenance around the house. He the one that voluntary do all the vacuum, and bathroom cleaning.

Because he works long hours, we both put in the effort to spend time together as much as we can. When we in bed, we communicate/talks to each others. He talks to me about everything.. We talk about random daily things, and we both laugh, we giggles.

He the type that have nothing to hide.
When he home from work, when we together, he always leaves the phone out in the open. He makes calls, receive calls, and talk on the phone in front of me. I let me hear him talk on the phone.
He always voluntary let me know his whereabouts, without me even have to ask him. He let me know his everyday working schedules, if he have to work late/more hours. What he be doing tomorrow/where he be going tomorrow, he always let me know ahead of time.

I don't think my husband have a communication problem, right? Do he have a communication problem?
I guess there isn't anything much for us fight about, our days is very simple.
He is an awsome husband, he secure everything emotionally and financially. He always respect me, and treats me really well.
He does make it clear that he strongly believe in communication, communication in relationship/marriage is very important to him.

Due to we just don't argue or fight, I admit sometimes I wonder if my marriage is normal or not. Other couples out there argue, why don't we argue? Are we not normal?

I didn't have a good childhood. My mother was verbally and emotionally abusive, she also very controlling and very critical. I guess because I grow up in a dysfunctional childhood, for me arguments means happy.. I don't know why I keep try to find faults in my marriage when there probably isn't any.

My older brother say he sees nothing wrong with how my marriage is, he thinks we simply have a peaceful marriage.. But I don't know why I keep thinking that we need arguments in order for our marriage to be normal, to be in the 'norms'.
I guess my normal meter is indeed very broken :-(
