Whoever created this piece of advice didn't have kids at the time. Sometimes you're just too tired to function enough to solve a problem.
Yep people get mad and fight. Acknowledging it's not the end of the world and that you won't let it fester for days is what's important. It's not bad to give things a sleep and wake up with a different perspective in the morning. Otherwise you build this mentality where every argument needs to have some finish line. It doesn't work that way.

It's always nice to give a warning if your are going to stink up the $hitter or have just stank up the $hitter, then she might do the same for you.
eventually you will feel comfortable enough to take a dump while she is cleaning her teeth next to you, this may or may not be the sign of true love but it is always the sign you no longer have any sex ever
On a more serious (but not overly) note, try to get used to saying "our place" instead of "my place". It's a small thing, but it is amazing how annoyed the significant other can get when you innocently slip in an invite to "my place" to friends while she is standing right there and is (at least in my case) honestly just a force of habit type thing.

As I said, "It's always nice"........

A lot of fights are small things amplified by external stress, lack of sleep, being hungry, etc. They are often not something actually worth fighting over or trying to specially resolve - just let them blow over with time, food, sleep... often as long as you’re not letting the little things pile up.
Smack her ass and pants her when she wears jogging pants and PJ's. My wife loves that. She also likes it when I tell her to relax or call her crazy when she throws dishes at me for pulling her PJ's down right before dinner. And one more thing: when you lose something around the house and she doesn't know where it is, it's her fault for not being efficient at household inventory. So keep asking where it is.
Yes, this is satire. Don't do any of that.

When my girlfriend (now wife) moved in with me, I charged her rent and a bit for utilities. Both were a bit around 1/3rd of actual cost and was proportional to her income relative to mine.
I didn’t want her to think that she could just free ride and I wanted her to be responsible for some things and for us to see how sharing expenses would work.
Several people have laughed at me when I mention that or think that I am joking, but it worked for us.
I'm definitely not saying that this is the case for you but move in only when you are extremely confident that it is right for you and feels completely natural.
Doing it because it is convenient - ie the other person's lease is up or wants to get away from living with a roommate - can lead to real problems.

Nah, finish your business, then call her in by telling her she spilled her perfume everywhere. She'll come running and take the biggest sniff possible as she enters the bathroom.
