Lynda and Phil have been married for ten years, and still find themselves having a heated argument at least once a week. They're worried that this means their relationship is not as solid as it should be. They think that if they were truly committed to one another, they wouldn't have arguments. It also worries them that even when they try to work things out when they're arguing, sometimes they just can't come to an agreement.

Explain to Lynda and Phil which myths about conflict they seem to share and why they are myths.
