Conflicts in a Relationship

Whether you are dating or married it is inevitable that sometime in your relationship there will be conflicts. What is a conflict, basically it is an argument and/or disagreement that may start out as small, but if not resolved can harm a relationship or marriage. This article will attempt to look at some causes of conflicts and how to deal with them.

It has been stated in several articles that communication is so important in a relationship. When you and your partner don’t talk to one other life tends to stop and problems arise because neither one of you know/understand what is happening in each other’s life. Plans are scheduled, promises made and decisions carried out, all of which could lead to conflicts. To help deal with this and make your relationship more solid, set time aside for each other and discuss your day, any plans and any concerns. This will make for a very happy and healthy relationship.

Another conflict cause is all about control. Which partner makes the decisions in regards to money, sex and daily living events. What happens here is all about power, to feel more superior and disregard your partner’s feelings. When this occurs it can be frightening and alarming. The best way to resolve this is to compromise with one another and for each of you to try to try and understand each other’s point of view. Try to switch roles and perhaps this will give each of you a better perceptive and may even open up some sensitivity toward each other.

One more conflict that tends to cause concerns in a relationship is honesty. Trust is one of the most important elements in a relationship; It sets the groundwork for a solid foundation. There should be no hidden agenda when beginning a relationship because it will eventually show itself and more problems could develop. To make sure this does not happen develop this simple code; L=love, U= understand and C=care.

Good Luck !!
