What is more important, showing love or winning an argument?

winning an argument is about defeating the other person its about bringing truth out...if the end is a stale mate then the argument is futile and need to agree to disagree...once some takes the discussion personal that's when you need to reign in the discussion...but the question is subjective because each situation isn't the same...so i would say both are important...you can have one or the other or both at the same time...

dont listen to the answers that say you cant, they dont know what love is. Life is a big influence on people, jobs, money, ect. but love finds a way. If you had to you could move where he was, tell him how you feel. FIrst thing i reccomend is you give him some space for a day or so, and gather your thoughts really well, and than when your ready call him up and present your thoughts to him and make sure you think about it allot before, you want to make it come out exactly as you inted to but you also want it to very powerful maybe some poetry if ur any good at that, but guys dont connect as well with that unless hes a romantic. now if hes a romantic than you need to focus on the love you feel, use words like undifinable, and incontrovertable, just be strong loadedish words that will pop at him and hit his heart, focus on your love, help him undurstand u, impart some of your emotions to him so he can really understand how you feel, you need to open his heart and he should clear up the same. if he is not a romantic than heres what you do, you give the powerful emotion explination, but attach ur emotions with realistic things and reasons, like real strong and well thought out arguments based in fact as to why you feel this specific emotion, than move onto the next emotion and describe it very romanticly and use tnagible evidance to support and explain y u feel that emotion towards him, thats your best bet to opeing his heart if he isnt a romantic. After you ask him you should consider movin out there, it might seem hard and almost impossible but i know love, and love is incrdibly strong, and even if u go out there and after awhile he dumps u, you'll have a new life there, look at it as some sort of rebirth, you have to be open to change and irradicate most of your internal fears to make this work, or win him back. i think u can get him chic, just remeber what i said and try your best. oh and best oh luck to you hope i helped, let me know what happens :)

Winning an argument shows you have more knowledge to give to a certain subject. You want love? Look no further than the game of tennis, where love is nothing . . . zilch . . . nada! So if love is nothing in tennis, what is it away from the game? Trick question right? Well, Christians are suffocated with the belief that God is love, yet they can't even comprehend God because it's against the code of conduct or something bizarrely irrational along those lines. So if God is love, is God nothing? Let's take a look! . . .

Prayer is when you talk to *nothing*. Meditation is when you listen to *nothing*. ~Diana Robinson

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are *nothing’s* laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart *nothing*. ~Martin H. Fischer

So long as *nothing* reveals *nothing*, or doesn’t, *nothing* is behaving like *nothing*. ~Mignon McLaughlin

It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that when we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation – of loneliness, of poverty and misery, the end of all things, or their extreme – then rises in our mind the thought of *nothing*. ~Vincent van Gogh

Don’t look for *nothing* where *nothing* is needed most; if you didn’t bring *nothing* there, *nothing* isn’t there. ~Mignon McLaughlin

He who kneels before *nothing* can stand before anyone.

What is it that we all believe in that we cannot see or hear or feel or taste or smell - this invisible thing that heals all sorrows, reveals all lies and renews all hope? What is it that has always been and always will be, from whose bosom we all came and to which we will all return? Most call it Time. A few realize that it is *nothing*. ~Robert Brault

"Nothing" can be replaced with God, Holy Spirit, the father, or any other righteous pronouns, and that shoe will still fit! Although in the Germanophile's wedding vows, a couple does agree upon cherishing love more than anything, including knowledge! Then, Papa God yells, "Yahztee!" as he has you ensnared in Eden . . . again. . . and again . . . and again.

Now, you can answer your own question.

I think showing love is more important. It's a turn off if someone has to always be right. Silence is golden and the opposing person can think about the situation for themselves instead of having the pressure of the other making it for them. I think this applies in all relationships. Good luck!

Our mission is to always try & help, but we are human & should never try to help anyone in our strength, because when do that ,we leave a huge opening for the flesh,& the devil, & that's always a dangerous situation, so when we out into the world to help someone, we 1st must put on the armor of God, the breastplate of righteousness, we must be prayed up, faith filled, and full of love from the Lord, be a willing vessel for God to use, and in everything that we do, we do it in love.things I have done, when I have found myself there, I stop talking & listen to person before me, but I'm also hear & listen to that still small voice & then I give thanks and praise ,Then I ask for forgiveness & guidance & then I look the person before me in the eyes & ask for their forgiveness, let them know that I love them & that Christ loves them, then I give thanks & praise to God the Father,, the Son & Holy Spirit! Amen

It greatly depends on the argument......when my son was addicted to drugs I wanted to win because of my love.

Here's another question you should ask yourself...

Is it loving to compromise the truth, just so you don't hurt somebody's feelings?

It essentially means that you are not willing to stand up for the truth.

agree to disagree and change the subject

showing love-

go away with your psychobabble.
