Conflicts as a Tool of Love

Conflicts are not the end of love, but a tool of it. Psychologists are confident: the ability to argue correctly strengthens the bond. How? Focus on the issue, not the person ('It's important to me that we discuss plans more often' instead of 'You never listen to me!'). Pause is your friend. If emotions run high, take a timeout and return to the conversation later. After a quarrel, be sure to 'repair' the relationship: hugs, a joke, a sincere conversation. Remember, a quarrel is not war, but a search for a common solution.
