10 Signs Your Relationship Is Healthy
4. You Quickly reach Understanding
Even when you do end up in a conflict, if you manage to get out of it rather quickly and you reach common ground fast, you are on the right track.
Conflict can be a tricky thing. It can be anything from not agreeing which movie you are going to watch next, to much more serious and dangerous, unfortunately sometimes even physical clashes.
In relationships, conflict can be beneficial as a healthy exchange of opinions, and the troubles begin when you cannot reach understanding quickly. Psychologist, Toby Green, has a few guidelines on what to do when serious conflicts start knocking on your door:
“Suspend judgment. Do it sober by avoiding conflict when alcohol has been consumed. Be specific, get your request down to 10 words or less. Don’t justify. Have a change of subject ready for when the conflict is over.”
