A Word About Relationship Conflict

Something that is important for couples to recognize is that some amount of conflict in relationships is normal. I always say there are a lot of unhappy couples out there that never fight or argue. Anger and conflict can make relationships stronger. In fact, it means that there is passion and caring. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be upset, right? The goal is to be able to express your needs so that you partner can hear them without blame or without them being defensive. A soft beginning helps set the tone and helps your partner hear what you are trying to convey.
