Fight FOR your marriage
Are you scared of conflict? Some of us have been led to believe that conflict is a sign of trouble in a relationship and should be avoided at all costs.
This is a highly unrealistic and sometimes damaging expectation for a long term relationship. Happy couples and families have just as many disagreements and almost as much conflict in their relationships as families who are distressed.
Avoiding conflict may be a good short term strategy. Unless you are a saint (!) it is not a good long term strategy. Unresolved conflict builds up over time and leads to resentment if it is not dealt with.
Learning to fight in a way that does not destroy your relationship is the key to long term relationship health.
Over the next few days, let us talk about some ways that may help in dealing with conflict in the relationship.
For starters, know that not all conflict can be resolved OR solved (this is really bad news for some problem solving experts amongst us!).
It does, however, need to be addressed. Otherwise, it takes on disproportionate negative energy.
