Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 3
)
Handle Conflict in Your Relationship
Arguing is an important part of a relationship and how you argue may determine whether your relationship lasts.
When arguing, allow your spouse a change to talk openly and freely, without belitting his or her feelings. Listen. Tell your partner how you feel. Ask how he or she feels. Focus on the emotional implications of the argument and maintain the goal of being closer.
Argue Effectively
Argue effectvely. Discuss the behaviors that were unacceptable, but do not attack the person. For example, “I was really hurt that you didn't call,” but not, “You're insensitive for not calling.” Personal attacks put others on the defensive and will escalate the argument.
Argue Effectively
Before saying anything, think about whether you really mean it. Also think about how it might make your partner feel.
If you are too angry to discuss the problem constructively, then take a break. Go for a walk. Give yourself time to cool down.
