Sometimes couples are so caught IN the conflict that they can’t see a way out. Conflict is a part of life and does impact on your life if its not resolved. Sometimes conflict in relationships is about your values being threatened. Sometimes conflict is about winning an argument at any cost!

What causes conflict in a relationship between couples? There may be misunderstandings, differing expectations of the relationship and their partner, a power imbalance, an overreaction on one or both parties parts, unclear communication or lack of it, to name a few. Barriers to conflict being resolved include stubborness, inflexibility, cultural, gender or different processing.
