Discussion: How to manage a conflict with your spouse with minimal damage to the relationship?

Even couples who communicate well will sometimes be dragged into heated arguments. It is essential to know how to manage crises without breaking the emotional bond between the couple.

1. Do not conduct the debate in the presence of family, friends, or children. Look for a quiet place; it is also possible to move to a cafe.
2. Spontaneity is a good trait for pilots, but not in arguments. If adequate, apologize and quietly take a few minutes to relax. (It is also possible from outside the house). Dedicate a thought, what message you want to convey, and what you want to achieve in an argument.
3. Do not bring up painful memories from the distant past to reinforce your claims; this is usually not the right time.
4. Listen to the explanations and arguments your spouse raises before you raise the tone and lose your temper.
5. Avoid divorce threats, abandonment, and termination of financial support. Fear does not usually solve problems in a relationship.
6. Do not insult! Insults leave a long-term injury that is difficult to rehabilitate.
7. It is worth internalizing that there are no perfect people. Lower your ego! It is also permissible to apologize. When you ask for sincere forgiveness, you return your energies to the positive energy cycle. Asking for forgiveness is not a weakness - but a strength.
8. It is occasionally advised to share with close friends, even about crises, but it is advisable not to run to talk to friends about any event. Leaking gossip can hurt you.
9. Try to reach an operative and effective outcome to prevent the following argument or conflict.

These recommendations are challenging to implement, as anger and stress cause people to lose rational thinking. Therefore, it is important not to act and speak pre-planned and not spontaneously.
