5 Simple Ways To Handle Conflicts In Relationships/ Marriage

Conflicts are bound in relationships but how we handle them goes a long way to determine how smooth and successful our relationship would turn out.


Everyone gets angry no matter how loving and accommodating they are and so does our spouse or partner.

There is an African proverb that says" Even the teeth and tongue regardless of their closeness, also fight sometimes."

Here are five very simple tips to help us handle conflicts, when they rear their 'ugly' heads in our relationship:

Stay Calm

Even though it could turn out to be a herculean task during  such heated moments, it  sure pays off to be calm. This way, we  can keep our anger in check.

Analyse the Situation

It is important we get ourselves to analyse the situation and really understand the root of the conflict and more importantly, aim to resolve them.

  Resolve The Conflict

During this moment, we  should  try to break the silence,  analyse the situation together with our spouse,  admit our errors and then  find a lasting  solution  or a better way to manage it. 

Learn To Tolerate

Most conflicts in relationships are usually as result of intolerance . As couples or partners we must show a high degree of tolerance towards our significant other. This way we would in no small measure minimise those unnecessary conflicts.

Forgive

The secret of many happy relationships is forgiveness. We should learn to apologise to each other, forgive ourselves  and move on together.
