How to Choose Your Battles In A Relationship
Do you have the feeling that everyday conflicts are becoming harder to tolerate?
Do you have a feeling that you need to defeat the other, in order to restore the balance?
Let’s discuss how to manage interpersonal conflicts to avoid the “winner” “looser” idea in a situation…
There are some reasons to explain why you think that “winning” over an argument will allow you to move on with the problem.
Maybe because of the most common perspective that you fight for a scarce resource; forcing you to “fight for the last bottle of water.”
The problem is when it only about “winning” you will see the opponent as someone that has to be defeated, transforming the person you love into an ‘enemy’.
The battle scenario would look like this:
- The bad one is competing with you for a scare resource.
- As result of this situation only one of you can be a winner:
- If you attack first, he will counter attack..
- If he move first, you will feel compelled to react and ‘defend’ your self.
- Whatever course of action, the only possible issue will be escalating the dispute.
Things to note here:
- Even if you want to avoid the conflict, inaction will create the conditions for the other to do the first move forcing you to react.
- Unless you step back and find another way, there can not be a real winner.
Even if you win over the resources, the price to pay is undermining your relationship. - If you too afraid to take action and radically change the way you approach this confrontations, the only option left is to fight.
- Unresolved confrontations can lead to more tension in the relationship.
- Failed communication leads to more isolation, pain, and anger.
Now if your repeat this scenario over and over, the value of your relationship will decrease with each round..
What do you really need to change this pattern?
Remember the real “relationship” lies beneath. It is alive and well and full of love.
Just don’t make this small ‘negotiation’ compromise your relationship.
Managing conflicts through positive techniques can help you learn more ways to resolve conflicts.

How to See Conflict as a Positive Event
Do you currently feel that confronting is a sure lose a loved one?
Are you somewhat skeptical of the idea of ‘positive conflicts’?
What if conflicts provide the seeds for a change?
What if a confrontation was not a message of reject, but a reach out for help and recognition?
Think about your reasons to confront someone..
When you initiate a confrontation, ,
Is it that You feel the need of recognition and confirmation from your partner?
OR
It is because you want to destroy your relationship or harm your the other party?
You would say that it is about recognition and confirmation.
You would not know exactly how to react when you are in the midst of confrontation.
Positive conflict techniques will allow you to negotiate your point while giving your partner the same recognition.
This is what you need to know about conflict:
- Conflict can be recognized at an early time, giving you a chance to control things before they get out of hand.
- Conflict is inevitable, it is a part of every relationship, and it’s needed. Without it, the relationship may stall, and die.
- Although inevitable, once accepted and planned for, conflict can be minimized, diverted, managed and resolved.
- Don’t be surprised or scared by it, just be prepared.
- There are strategies for resolution that are available and DO work.
- You can always determine what needs change in your relationship.
Some people think that conflicts and confrontations are to be avoided at all costs.
As a result, they get so good at avoiding them, that they are blocked by their own limitations, reaching always the same dead ends.
But how can you void this trap?
If you see that each conflict is an opportunity to get you two closer, if confrontations can be used to strengthen the foundation of your relationship, then there is no need to fear losing your loved ones. Confrontation is not only to clash forces or ideas but it is an opportunity to build a more solid foundation in your relationship..

- Anger, even when it’s justified, can quickly become irrational so always remind yourself that you’re just experiencing some hard times in your life.
Every problem has a solution. But the best mentality is not to focus on finding the solution, but rather on how you handle and face the problem.

Emotional Abuse: How Its Affects You
If you are in an emotionally abusive relationship for a long time, you may loose your ‘inner compass’ and can become convinced that you are not worthy of love and respect.
Try to honestly answer this questions to yourself:
- Is your ultimate fear to be left alone, without no one to love you?
- Do you sacrifice your own wishes, just to please your partner?
- If your partner abuses you, do you become submissive?
- Do you do things that you do not like just to make your partner feel good?
If you are in a relationship wherein emotional abuse happens everyday, the effects are dangerous than any form of abuse because it can be frequent. Emotional abuse can be subtle, it makes you feel that you are the problem or it is your problem. It makes you doubt your self-worth and erodes your self-esteem.
Here are the negative effects of long-term emotional abuse:
- Low self-esteem
- Emotional Stress
- Health Problems
- Depression
- Isolation
- Alcohol or drug use
You may seem introverted, quiet, or may appear confident and extrovert, which is an act to fool the outside world so that you can hide the humiliation you are experiencing. You may have deliberately chosen not to seek help but decided to deal with it. But ongoing contact can drag you back in the abusive situation again and again.
You must try to do something if your partner is unwilling to seek help or knowledge.
The recovery process is long and painful. In the end, you may decide to hurt yourself, it may influence your mentality. Long-term emotional abuse may result to suicide. You would feel unlovable and unworthy.
Proper counseling will help stop this chain of suffering once and for all.
To your happiness,

Stay Married For a Long Time
Did you think that love will conquer all?, if yes you are well advised to read all this article. The problem is that often people get married with the idea that their chemistry or undying love for each other will keep them together forever.
Think about how you got together, was it through friends, work or a online dating site like match or plenty of fish?, also known as plentyofish, did you really give yourself enough time to get to know each other?
However, with a very high percentage of marriages ending in divorce these days, it’s obvious that a lot of marriages that start out well still fail. Therefore if you want your marriage to be a long time success it pays to know a few little secrets before getting married. Here are a number of tips for staying together longer:
Over the years, people often drift apart or relationships and marriages become stale because couples fail to do new and special things together.
That’s why going on new and different dates is so important. In fact, there is something about dating” that creates a sense of magic in a relationship and can even bring relationships out of a rut.
While on a date, you also put more effort into your appearance, have more uninterrupted time to communicate on a deeper level and are naturally drawn closer together.
Stuck for new ideas?, just try using Google and search for fun and interesting activities in your local town, city or state, you will be surprised at what you can find.
It’s a well documented statistic that couples who have dated for a year or longer before marriage have a significantly lower rate of divorce than those who married after a short dating period.
A year of dating gives time for many emotions to surface and many character traits to be discovered. You may adore someone in the spring, but despise him or her in the winter.
Asking someone for his or her hand in marriage on the third date isn’t romantic, it’s really very silly, it may work for a few people but for most it will end in tears.
Often times, as a relationship ages, partners tend to stop praising each other because they ‘assume’ their partner already knows what they’re thinking.
When in reality, a day should never go by without you praising your partner. Compliment them on their cooking, reaffirm that they’re the greatest person in the world or tell them they’re a wonderful role model. If you want to be loved and romanced by your sweetheart, love and romance them first. When they’re feeling loved, it is much easier to love in return.
Are you a super supporter of what your mate does and says? So do you cheer them on and praise them constantly? Or do they always hear boos or silence?
Couples with the most problems are often the ones that say, “I just don’t understand him/her.”
So let me ask you: How knowledgeable are you about your mate’s profession or the degree they are pursuing? Do you know anything about their family heritage? Are you able to have a meaningful conversation about her cross-stitch hobby or his interest in football? If you are a man, do you understand what women experience during PMS or menopause?
You don’t need to be identical, but make an effort to learn about the things that interest your partner in life and you’ll grow closer as a result.
Does your partner want children? Do you both want careers? Do they have a history of spending like crazy their way into debt? Do they go to church?
In my opinion, the biggest reason almost half of marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask each other the right questions BEFORE they get married.
I guess people think they’ll be able to change their spouses after marriage and everything will be better. Wrong. If you fail to sit down and discuss finances, religion, sex, housing, money, your future, and other topics in great detail, you could end up with nothing but argument after argument for the rest of your days.
In the end, if you both have completely different views, desires and goals in life, there’s no guarantee that chemistry or a lot of “I love you’s” will help you stay together.
Make it your utmost priority to understand each other ‘inside-out’ BEFORE you take that walk down the aisle, and it really does not matter where you met, even if it was a dating site like planty of fish, what counts is that you put into action some of the tips you have just read in this article, good luck.
What are those Secret Strategies That Super Happy Couples indulge in to keep the Spark Alive Even 10 Years after Marriage?
Have you ever wondered why you and your spouse fight day in and day out, why you both seem miserable about your marriage and yet you often come across couples who seem to have been married for aeons and are still happy and blissful? Yeah, I know you often think these “happily wedded for 10 years or 20 years” couples are just faking it, but in reality they are not. It is just that they look at marriage differently and treat each other differently from the run of the mill couples.
You can preserve your marital bliss even after 10 to 15 years a marriage by being able to look at each other and treat each other exactly the same way as you did during your honeymoon period. Don’t think that after 15 years of wedding when you have become parents to ten year old kids, you have outgrown your intimacy.
You must kiss each other, hug each other, stroke and bite each other and ruffle the hair and give encouraging pats on the back. Don’t let the love disappear and don’t feel you are too old to demonstrate that love. Life beyond the boundaries of your home is harsh and ruthless. Remember, you both rely on each other for company and emotional security.
Treat your spouse with respect and this respect should come both ways. If you are always pulling each other down,screaming and shouting,there is no way that your marriage will succeed.
You have to constantly make each other feel special even a decade after getting married. For e.g. These days its so much more easier to keep in touch with your partner through internet and text messages. Send each other naughty or general or cheeky mails and sms from office throughout the day, leave a “good morning honey, I hope your day goes well” kinds of messages on the washroom mirror or under the toilet seat or on the refrigerator door before leaving for office.
Share each others’ problems and burdens and keep connected to each other and talk your heart out on the bed before you go to sleep at night. The night should be seen as an opportunity to snuggle in your husband's arms. In short, leave the lines of communication open in your marriage at all times.
