The Best Way To Handle Conflict In a Relationship

By Joshua Nikenya


Not many people will know how to handle conflicts in a relationship. Conflict is something that's inevitable and if handled well, it can turn to be healthy. It's true that healthy conflicts strengthen the relationship because grievances aired by a partner are solved.

You will encounter conflict whether you are dating, just married or you've been married for many years. Many couples do not want to engage in healthy conflicts since they'd insist that they are always right while their partners are wrong.

This kind of view must be avoided so as to maintain a stable relationship which is healthy. How do you handle a conflict with your partner in your relationship? The first step you should take is to know what your buttons are and those of your partner. It's also good to read on quotes for friends..

Couples have conflicts mainly on areas of finance, sex and raising children. When such conflicts ensue, it's crucial that both the partners should take part in active discussion to resolve what they are arguing on before the situation worsens.

When holding a meeting to discuss a conflict, the couples should try and understand each other's point of view. It is unfortunate that not all couples will do this. If you do this, then you'll be able to present your own view in a logical manner.

You shouldn't interrupt or disregard what your companion is putting across. Never should you take a stance of 'I just know'. Instead you should demonstrate how concerned you are with what your partner is saying by being a good listener.

It's not wrong if you request your partner to repeat a statement. This will enable you to capture the words which you did not hear correctly or missed to hear. You should not blame your partner by saying such words like "it is you who caused it" or use harmful words that may cause anger and more issues but instead you should stay on topic and discuss the real problem facing you both.

Never degenerate into name calling or use strong words like swearing because such words will not help you and your partner in any way in solving the conflict facing both of you. Any form of physical intimidation should be avoided because people are naturally inclined to defend themselves in such a situation.

Men find it hard to avoid intimidation because they might not realize they are doing it. As an example they may be slamming their hand on a table not knowing that they are actually intimidating their partner.

There additionally are partners who break the deal when it comes to clearing up a conflict. Partners should not physically approach one another in an argument particularly if it seems to be a heated one. In such an argument it's better to call off the discussion and each partner should walk away so as to have a cooling period instead. The odd of this is that both the partners are way off topic and nothing is resolved.

The final result of a conflict in a relationship should be reconciling. You and your partner should reconcile and forget all what had occurred. Therefore, when you do not agree with your partner don't wait until it is too late is when you begin to solve the disagreement. Solve the disagreement within a reasonable period of time, actually before the end of the day of the disagreement.
