Is Conflict Causing the Fire of Your Relationship to Burn Out of Control?
Conflict in relationships is inevitable. A relationship deterioriates when people in relationships try all sorts of ways to avoid hurting each other. Conflict resolution is a tool to mend and strengthen relationships.
Human relationships and fire pits are quite similar, actually. For any structure to be built a solid base is absolutely necessary. From this stable foundation you may get a raging flame that may be positive and negative. It’s both creative and destructive. A couple who are bothe passionate may run into problems at times. Sometimes that passion can become destructive if it isn’t controlled and contained. The result is conflict when this happens.
Thus, when you are in this fire pit that’s referred to as being in a relationship, and the flames are raging out of control, what may be done about it? For starters, realize that conflict is not abnormal. Don’t feel as though just because you have a fight (or several or quite a few) Then it means that there is something wrong. And even if there is something wrong, that doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed.
You must be certain that you are effectively listening to your partner when you are having a disagreement. Couples often fight over the same set of issues and will never resolve their problems, since they don’t listen to each other. Attempt to view the issue by putting yourself in your mate’s shoes. Are you able to see something positive in them? Sometimes people can have problems with their significant other simply because they are in denial that there is validity to their partner’s feelings and concerns. In the majority of instances, just backing off and letting your partner sort through their own thoughts and cool down will significantly decrease the amount of conflict between you.
Your partner is just trying to be heard, when you have conflict in your relationship and can do the best at that point. The best thing you can do when dealing with conflict in your relationship is try, even though it may be difficult at first, to have compassion for them, and compassion for yourself. While this may not result in a solution, it could make matters run smoother. Then you can take your time rebuilding your firepit and feel that good kind of fire.
