Conflict resolution is the process of finding a viable solution for a well-handled conflict. A conflict arises where there is a disagreement between the parties involved that poses a threat to their relationship. Although getting into a disagreement is normal in a romantic relationship, it is important to know how to resolve conflicts to maintain a healthy relationship.
There are many different types of conflict that you may find yourself part of like:
Jealousy
Financial issues
Intimacy (or lack of)
Everyday matters
To hone conflict resolution skills, you need to engage in active listening in order to listen to how the other person feels so that you can reach an agreement with them. Both parties must feel heard and empathised with for a negotiated agreement to take place. Often times, emotions such as anger get in the way of problem-solving which may exacerbate the conflict situations.
