Being committed, whether you’re in a marriage, a common-law relationship , or cohabiting in a committed relationship, can be the greatest experience.
Having someone to talk with, share experiences with, someone who has your back, someone to belong to can give you both warm tingles of safety and security, and the joy of being loved. Being in a team of two can feel like you can achieve anything you want together.
On the other hand, a conflict, a disagreement, an argument, or a fight can be the worst, most painful, discouraging, and demoralizing experience.
I know, because I’ve entered the ring of relationship conflict more than once personally. I’ve witnessed many clients over years of practice, fall into the depths of despair and emotional pain when marital conflicts rear their nasty head.
Here are 5 steps to resolve conflicts with your partner and move towards a healthier relationship.
1. Criticizing your partner
Think of the last time you and your partner had a disagreement. Chances are, one of you said something to the other that was completely misunderstood.
Maybe you said something you meant to be humorous, maybe you used a critical or sarcastic tone of voice, perhaps you even meant to be a bit mean, but it ultimately led to marriage arguments.
