Couple Conflict and Ways to Resolve

It happens to every couple, don’t be fooled to think you are the only couple that have conflict. Today we look at some everyday conflicts and attempt how to resolve them.

The first conflict is who’s the boss. This is a serious one because if married, your personal independence and self-esteem becomes almost non-existent. A working relationship with two established people means there is no person in charge; working to resolve issues can happen when you respect and love one another.

The next issue may be personality conflict in other words do opposites really attract; the answer is yes and no; if your personalities are opposite, the sad truth is that most relationships become increasingly brittle and most relationships fail. Couples with the same personality traits may feel less stress and pressure when facing a conflict. Their similar traits allow each others to resolve a conflict with little or no negative feelings toward one another.

Intimacy or lack of may create a genuine conflict, especially in a long term relationship that was once very satisfying; intimacy does not just pertain to sex it also encompasses feelings of the heart and mind; It may be difficult but couples can survive, however, what may happen is that one or both of you may become unhappy and less secure in your relationship and the partnership may become unhappy for both of you.

The last conflict, although there are many others, is that absence of goals. There needs to be a game plan for the future, a purpose. Some goals may be owning a home, having children, staying intimate and making each other top priority. Ways to avoid conflict is to communicate feelings, especially when you or your partner feel unhappy with an issue. Stay true to your feelings; be yourself and develop social behavior skills, such as tone of voice, trust and openness between each other. Remember to resolve a conflict all you need to be is honest and true to yourself.

Good Luck!!
