Is Conflict Common In Relationships or Do We Just Have Issues?
As quiet as it’s kept relationship conflicts are more common than we think. Any honest, seasoned couple will tell you at some point in their marriage they felt like they had hit the wall, and peace seemed hard to find. Whether you are married or just in a long-term relationship, conflict and miscommunication are bound to come up. So if you are facing issues with communication, conflict, a lack of intimacy, you are not alone and couples counseling can help.
Believe it or not, all couples have issues of conflict. Conflict in relationships and marriages in essence is inevitable. Conflict is actually positive in many ways because it proves that you have an independent voice. The difference between successful relationships versus unsuccessful relationships is how we engage in conflict when it arises. Many of us have not been given the tools to talk through heated topics in our marriages without a blowout, so what happens is we either have a lot of blowouts or we completely avoid conflict altogether. When we avoid conflict it festers and simmers in our conscious and unconscious minds. These alternatives are never positive.
