I had interactions with various persons and they talked about how they resolve conflicts in their relationships.
Mr A:
One of the things I taught my spouse is how to listen.
When we started, we had issues with communication. She was quick to defend herself and wanted to prove she was right.She was stubborn. At a point, I wanted to quit but I love her and decided to work on her flaws.
There was a day we went outing to a garden. I noticed she was in a better mood. I had a lengthy discussion with her on how we can resolve our issues amicably.
Source ~ Listen to your partner when he or she is talking. Don't interrupt between talks.
Instead of interrupting when a partner is talking,listen first then you can say your own.
Listen more and talk less.
Sustaining the relationship is more important than who is right. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Mrs B:
My partner and I learnt anger control after we were married. Anytime, we had a quarrel, I will be so angry and say hurtful words to him. And this almost ruined our marriage.
Now, if I am upset with him- I keep quiet. To avoid saying words I might later regret.
He goes out for a stroll. After an hour or two, he returns and we settle.
Our tempers are calmer by then and we trash out issues gently.
Life is too short to be quarrelling and filled with anger. Peace of mind is key.
I have seen cases where disagreements turn turn out as slaps and fights.
These kind of persons need to work on their anger issues.
Hitting each other is not ideal.
To the married couples and those in relationships, how do you resolve conflicts in your relationships?
