It’s human nature to disagree. I like chocolate, she likes ice cream. It’s even impossible to avoid conflict entirely. Healthy communication skills play an important role in conflict management. Poor communication can easily cause a disagreement to escalate into bitterness, resentment, or worse. Conflicts that are allowed to brew and grow will ultimately damage self-esteem and confidence in the marriage. When resolving conflict, it is important to utilize your emotional intelligence, empathy, and problem solving skills. Yes, even in marriage once needs to use creative problem solving skills.
During this The Haven Marriage Center, Inc’s Thought Forum participants study the critical ‘moments’ that typically escalate matters into conflict. Spouses discover the Double-Blind Feelings/Logic Complex to better manage their own mental perspective in times of marital conflict.
Thought Forum Courses are available to private, public, and Christian organizations and corporations who would like to offer wellness enrichment to their employees.
