Part of nurturing a healthy relationship is mastering your conflict resolution

Part of nurturing a healthy relationship is mastering your conflict resolution

How do you perceive conflict in your relationship? How do you handle it when it comes up? How effectively do you and your partner discuss issues of conflict?

One of the traps many couples fall into is discussing (or, in some cases, jumping from discussion right to “fighting about”) surface-level examples of underlying problems.
