Communcation & Conflict Management.

Communication is the key to a good relationship. In any relationship there will be times when conflict will arise. They key to resolving such issues is communication. Learning to listen empathic ally to what your mate is saying is key in managing conflict, and understanding each other. Listening attentively without interrupting the another person, and later clarify what you heard can also be a good technique that can be used to communicate effectively in a relationship. The spoken word is always misunderstood, so it is always good to listen attentively and then ask questions to clear up what you heard. At times the situation can lead to violence, but violence is not the answer in solving conflict. In a heated exchange you might say something that may hurt the other person. After the argument is over you can't take away what you said. It is also important to not say hurtful things to your mate, and refrain from name calling. Physical abuse is also something that one should never use to resolve conflict. Your mate will never forget that day that you did put your hands on them, and that person will hate you forever. So always try to stay calm and talk things over. You lied when I said I hit you. You should tell the truth as to what really happened. How the altercation started on the top step of the school where you work and end up all in the street. You need to stop telling lies on me and speak the truth. You said you are a Christian. Christian devil... You are a freaking lesbian. Raising my daughter around your lesbian lover.

    Communication is key to a good relationship. My wife never want to let know me what she does. Only until afterwards or months later I get to find out. She borrowed money from her friend twice $5000.00 for two semesters for her son and she never told me till after two semesters later. She just do whatever she want to do and never tells me about it. I am always the last person to know about what she is doing. When I find out later and get upset that she never included me in whatever she was doing. Then it becomes a problem. Like just before Christmas, she went to purchase 4 new tires for her car and never told me till I found out on Christmas eve. That is when all this started. She is saying to me it is her car and she can do whatever she wants. Not that she wanted to say, she wanted to say it is her money and she can do whatever she wants. This is not a marriage when you want to do whatever you want and not tell me about it.
