Keep reading for tips and Dr. D’Arienzo’s tips on Conflict Resolution and Active Communication for Couples:

Make note of any barriers you encounter when attempting to communicate and identify effective communication strategies to use. Spend about 30 minutes each making an “I” statement on a slightly more difficult topic. Speakers should focus on how they feel when their partner does something and explain what they want instead. Listeners should show empathy, summarize what the other person is saying, and convey their agreement. The goal is to talk about the topic and see it from your partner’s point of view. The goal is to be able to see things from the other person’s point of view instead of “fighting properly” or “reflecting properly” when your position is correct. Both of you should practice being both a speaker and a listener.

Spend around 30 minutes discussing the primary cause of conflict that you each have regarding the relationship or regarding the other. Write down what your main source of conflict is and then which plan or approach you will take to avoid or settle this conflict or another conflict. It will be crucial to adhere to the communication procedures described above once more. Write up a real strategy for how you will address the issue when it arises after adding to this flow of discussion the resolution you both decide to use to manage the conflict. Consider making a commitment to stick to your plans by signing a document.

It is important that you are able to resolve conflict in marriage. The couples that do not solve conflict have the most trouble in marriage. Those that can and learn to solve conflict typically thrive. Remember to take a break in the event that either of you becomes heated during this discussion. Once you have calmed, please resume, make peace, and make a plan. Remember, that both of you need to choose a conflict and resolve it with the other person.
