You’ve had the odd argument or two I guess.
My husband and I have never actually had an argument—
that he’s won!
The truth is that in our case our arguments stalemate and that damages our relationship and intimacy.
My guess is that we have all been in some kind of disagreement and probably more often than we care to admit.
Over the years I have learned the elements of fighting fair without destroying our relationship. I don’t always get it right but mostly we have stopped fracturing our marriage.
Rules of engagement in battle
We all know from movies or real life that the armed forces follow rules of engagement when in battle.As stated earlier, I have discovered there are sound rules of engagement for you and me when we get into disputes and arguments with someone in our family, a friend, a neighbour, work colleague or employer.
Everyone can benefit from learning the rules of fighting fair.
Constructively managing conflict in relationships is a skill.
You will learn these rules of engagement.
- How to express differences of opinion using the rules of engagement.
- How to regulate your own emotions as an important element in fighting fair.
B-u-t- …
You might be saying to yourself right now, But this won’t work for me because the person I fight with the most won’t use these rules of engagement.That is a very good point and I will address that. It will still be beneficial for you to learn how to fight fair because you will use these skills with more than that one person in your lifetime.
I will give you five steps to help resolve conflict.
