Relationship Help Around Healthy Conflict

This is important to understand. Conflict will arise in every love relationship. Instead of trying to never have conflict, instead it is useful to look at how the bad and good ways to deal with it.

There are some good things you can do during and after conflict. You can start by taking a few deep lungfuls of air while you are in conflict. Notice your reactions to the conflict as you do this.

Another great thing to notice is that conflict causes crappy behavior. Adults acting like kids during conflict will yell, break things, cry, run away, and hurl insults. But you don't have to take it personally! The bad behavior is only for a few minutes, usually. See if you can begin to not take it too personal.
