marriage counseling - Preventing conflict

Preventing conflict is about pre-empting conflict in order to avoid it becoming an issue. So how would u pre-empt conflict? Well there are four simple steps you need to consider

If you feel conflict is brewing, try to determine the root cause of the conflict in your mind and decide how you should discuss it with your partner as not to fuel the situation into a full blown conflict.
Timing in prempting conflict is the key. Never ever confront your partner when you are feeling angry or emotional about the cause of conflict. Choose a moment that isn't too emotional for your partner, i.e. a suitable time where your partner is not pushed for time or feels tired.
Mention to your partner, in a calm friendly manor, that you would like to discuss something that is bothering you. Then choose your words carefully as not to sound accusatory. Always think what it would be like to be at the receiving end of what you are saying.
Be also prepared to listen (please see Marriage Counseling - listen to what your partner has to say).

By following these simple steps you can pre-empt conflict as well as prevent it from getting out of hand.
