Conflict In Marriage- Fight Fair

Posted: Feb 24, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Any marriage or relationship will sooner or later come into a period of conflict. The conflict is usually started with something that may be unimportant or even trivial, but if not handled well can escalate into a major problem. Hence the title of my article for today ‘conflict in marriage-fight fair' which contains my thoughts on the ways I have found that will help prevent the conflict growing.

In my experience all marriages and relationships will have, at some point, conflicts so please do not think that you are alone with your problems. If you follow my few words of advice about what to say and how to say things the conflict need not grow, and that's what I mean ‘fight fair'

If you look at my site and video www.waystogetyourexback.info you will find advice that has helped many of my friends.

When a conflict arises you must speak directly to each other about your feelings on whatever is causing conflict, your partner is not a mind reader. However long you have been together, do not be tempted to think that the other knows how you feel without making it clear.

Share your intensity of feelings on a particular issue, so if you feel very strongly on a point of conflict and by discussing it now, you can set markers for the future.

Do not make use of sarcasm when talking about the issue, nor use ‘put downs ‘the most obvious   of which is ‘you always do….'.

Firstly sarcasm will enflame the situation because your partner will see that as a flippant remark showing your lack of feeling or understanding. Secondly, once said, the put down cannot ever be retracted, and in this case ‘you always do/say…..' will not be true. By avoiding these you will minimize the scale of the conflict.

Deal with one conflict at a time, do not pile up your issues by saying something like ‘and another thing…..', escalation of the conflict can be brought about so easily in this way. Sort out one problem first before going on to the next.

When one of you wants to talk about a problem in your relationship please talk about the problem, silence or giving the other the ‘cold shoulder' tends to intensify the problem, leading to an even bigger conflict. Taking this as step further, remember the old saying ‘do not let the sun set on an argument' sort it out now tomorrow is a new day.

Possibly the most important piece of advice that I can give you on conflict in marriage-fight fair -you should never fight to win, but always fight to keep your marriage.

My personal mentor, in my time of conflict, reminds me not be tempted to rush things, give yourselves time to take these emotional steps, you have created the best possible conditions for a positive outcome. Space in this article will not allow me give to you more advice on, so please check here for more advice   Conflict in marriage-fight fair.

    This is a subject that I have many years of personal experience of, my wife is a Scorpio. This is the eighth sign of the Zodiac and people born under this sign are best described as "magnetic, elusive, sexy and determined" I would add one more quality from personal experience "fiery". The sign of Scorpio is astrologically described as water and ice, a cool character, but when under the influence of the red planet Mars they turn "fiery", so watch out!

    As the old song says "Breaking up is hard to do", you and your ex will both have a messy tangle of broken dreams and raw emotions, the pain you feel will take a lot of will power to overcome. To start with you are probably feeling that you will never be able to cope with the crippling heart ache, and the feeling of near helplessness will try to prevent you from dealing with your problems. Just keep it in mind that you are not the first couple to break up nor will you be the last.

    It was all over something really stupid then it got out of hand, and in a moment you dumped him and stormed off, the problem is s you had been going out for a while and you liked him a lot! It was all over in moment, now it's done you have to think hard what made you dump him.

    So she dumped you? But don't write off your relationship if you want to get back together with you ex, woman tend to be more unpredictable with their feelings than men. Experience tells me that in all breakups 7 times out of 10 it is the woman who finishes the relationship and in a high proportion of those cases they can be persuaded to get back together with their ex (you).
