Conflict in relationships is inevitable. Our goal should not be to avoid conflict, but to navigate it in a healthy and respectable manner. Listen to today’s show for a detailed overview about understanding conflict and how to navigate it better in your relationships.
In this episode with Marlene Chism, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:
- How to recognize conflict in your relationship
- The importance of understanding your narrative around conflict in your relationship
- How to communicate in the most productive way during conflict
- The key understanding that our stories are the sources of our own suffering
- Important questions to ask yourself and your partner before, during and after conflict
- How to listen better during conflict and why listening is so important
- And much more!
