Conflict will arise in any relationship. My husband and I
both have a lot on our plates. He is
starting his career as a real-estate agent while staying home and raising our
son. I am working full time, getting my masters and finding the balancing act
between wife and mother. Needless to say, our tempers have been short and we
have had conflict as our stress levels rise.
As I have read the course resources this week two techniques I have
found useful is practicing non-violent communication and finding a compromise.
Last week my husband assessed me on my communication style. According to his
results, he feels I sometimes blur the line between attacking the person vs.
the issue. Using the strategies within non-violent communication has caused me
to be more aware of how I communicating. I believe compromise is one of the
best options when resolving conflict. Each person has to give a little while
still feeling validated and respected. I
have used these strategies this week and have found success. J
