Argue the Big Question

Oprah says that the question one should ask when in an argument is: "Do you want to be right, or do you want peace?" How true! Aren't those two things the only two things we usually want out of a relationship? But the more important point to make is that in a relationship, isn't peace the more paramount of the two? We can all believe that we are right, even if we tell the other person that we know we're wrong, but if our primary concern is to be right, then we don't really care about the relationship that much, right? Wouldn't we rather just make everything right in the relationship than to hold the superior honor of being "right" about whatever the argument was about? Sure, easier said than done, and most of us will still probably argue to be right than argue to make peace, but it's something that every truely in-love couple should ponder.
