My goal is usually to defend myself as well as resolve the conflict

Usually my gold is to fix, resolve the conflict. Although sometimes I just want to be the one who is right, but we found a way to clams ourselves take a time alone, pray, then come together and talk about it, often times there are things I might not agree with my husband’s decisions but part of me being a suitable helper is let him lead.

Win at all costs! Guessing from this lesson that this isn’t the best approach. (Kidding! Kind of…)

In the past, the goal tends to be to solve a problem and arrive at strategies to do that, as I believe most men tend to do. But I’ve been made aware that it is more important to hear what each other feels. In addition, this course has reminded me that how we treat each other in a conflict is more important than the content of the disagreement.

I typically try to get the other person to understand my perspective. I want him to understand my issue thoroughly and then I listen to his take and understanding of the problem. Resolution is my goal and to restore harmony and peace. I know that I can’t make him change. He has to want to and make the effort. I learned that old habits are able to be changed.
