- Disagreements occur in any relationship. Two people can’t possibly always have the same needs, opinions and expectations. A relationship that does not have challenge stops growing and becomes routine, predictable, and hollow. But meeting the challenges of a vibrant, fulfilling relationship takes communication between partners.
- The resolution of differences is key for most love relationships. If we can confront and resolve conflicts quickly, without resorting to criticism, contempt, defensiveness, or zoning out, our relationships will strengthen a level of intimacy and trust to develop. But it is upto you, to resolve conflict hinges on our ability to apply the nonverbal skills.
- Be relaxed and focused in tense and intense situations . If you cannot stay relaxed and in control, this may make you overwhelmed emotionally in challenging situations.
- Learn to experience intense emotions and recognize what matters most. Dont not attempt to ignore negative feelings, since your ability to face and resolve differences will be compromised. Do not let emotional intensity, either yours or your partners' insist on rational outcomes, then it will not give you the strength to resolve conflicts.
- Make an effort to remain calm in tense situations. Many confrontations can be avoided and differences resolved, if you can try to ease things out by moving to softer topics of mutual play.
- One of the most important information conveyed in love relationships is nonverbal. Make eye contact, facial expression, tone of voice, posture, touch, intensity, timing and pace.
- Be a good listener, so that you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication.
- Be also a good talker, since this can help you express and control our emotions, and able to communicate your needs without causing anger.
