Conflict Resolution

I think that the conflict resolution steps we talked about are very helpful. You have to identify the problem, talk to eachother about what each wants, negotiate in a certain way, vocalize what's going to happen with the negotiations, and then, re-negotiate if need be. This is very helpful because it is a calm way to talk out the issue. Everyone can get their wants and needs out of the discussion. Then, after talking everything out, the issue is dealt with and the couple can move on. It's very helpful to know this because when working with families that hold grudges and can't get over issues, I can give them good advice in how to get over the conflict and have a happy marriage. This would help them with future conflicts also.
