Misconceptions and Fact about conflict

- Harmony is normal and conflict is abnormal and that the presence of conflicts is a sign of an unhealthy relationship.

#C3Marriages #HeSaidSheSaid

- It is not the presence of conflicts that lead to separation and/or divorce rather it is the failure to resolve conflicts that lead to the above consequence.

“Marriage is like a house. When a light bulb burns out, you do not go and buy a new house, you fix the light bulb.”

“Great marriages have survived Great challenges with Great commitment.”

Keys to healthy conversations

-Focus on the problem at hand don't assassinate character.

-Focus on winning the agreement. Agree that you might not see things the same way. Focus on the way forward in harmony. -@iamPDoc

-Don't be a mind reader.. Actions are louder than words but words are clearer than actions.

-Teach each other how you want to love you. We judge people by their actions and judge ourselves by our intentions.-@iamPDoc

#C3Marriages #HeSaidSheSaid

- For healthy communication, forgive again and again and some more. Forgiveness should be flowing.

It is possible to have a truly truly happy marriage. -@iamPDoc
