In any relationship, no matter how long you have been together, conflict will arise from time to time. How you deal with the conflict can either bring you closer or cause you to drift further apart. Learning how to develop more effective communication skills can be beneficial for resolving disagreements and misunderstandings to lead to a stronger and lasting relationship.
Skill #1: Learn how to remain focused.
It is important to stay focused on the current conflict issue. It can be tempting to bring up past, unresolved conflicts. However, doing so, can create a further divide and make it feel like you and your partner are going in circles. Instead, only discuss the current conflict, your current feelings, and on reaching a solution.
