How To Resolve Marriage Conflict

“Till death do us part” When you take this vow with the most important person in your life, you never think of the difficulties ahead. The reality is that the peaches and mauves of the honeymoon period get over soon and the real compatibility of a couple starts to show. Actually, the strength of the marriage comes to the fore in this period only. When two people from different family setups start to live together, they are bound to have conflicts. In fact, having disagreements is completely natural and there is no need to panic, as long as you know how to resolve the marriage conflicts positively. Read on to know some tips to get over conflicts in your marital life.

 

 

The first thing, which you have to do, is to identify the cause behind the conflict. More often than not, we don’t even know the cause of the fight. Unless you know what’s causing the clash, how would you be able to eradicate it? Sit with each other and have one-to-one talk. Instead of fighting with each other, try to resolve the problem from the root itself.

 

Most of the conflicts occur because of the communication gap between couples. There is no better way to resolve such a conflict than with a talk. If you have problems with any annoying habit of your spouse, talk to him/her about the same. However, instead of accusing your partner or forcing him/her to change the habit; try to understand why he/she does so and what can be done to remove the problem. A constructive communication will help you resolve your matters in a better way.

 

Sometimes, we just keep on ranting and raving, without even listening to our partner. The idea here is to resolve the situation and not worsen it. It should be a two-way communication; then only you would be able to work out the problems. Choose a time when you both are free, cool and calm. Don’t have a chat when you are angry.

 

Many people just keep on bottling the emotions inside them and one day, it all comes out, for just about everything. Remember that bottling up the emotions inside you will only harm you and may even make you bitter forever. So, if anything is bothering you, just talk with your spouse and try to resolve it.

 

Never in any case, hit below the belt. In other words, don’t bring up the ghosts of past and don’t involve any name calling. Also don’t tease each other and fight fair. Use “I” sentences more.

 

Don’t raise unnecessary issues and fight fair. Keep yourself calm and composed. Work towards resolving the conflict. When you know nothing is more important than your marriage, then you surely would keep your cool.

 

Put your marriage before your ego and be open to adjustments. This is the only way you can save your relationship and even better it. Everyone fights, but those who are able to sail past the conflicts make their marriage a success.

 

Listen to your spouse without any preconceived notions and forgive him/her. Unless you have moved past the matter, you would not be able to find a solution for your conflicts. So, forgive each other and work on to improve your relationship.
