Do you find that the spark between you and your partner has faded and that you often feel lonely and misunderstood?

Are you spending more time arguing with your partner than enjoying each other’s companionship?

Are you living with a partner who is detached and non-responsive to your emotional needs?

Do you experience high levels of anxiety due to conflict with your partner?

If you can identify with any of these experiences, you are not alone. Conflict is inevitable in every relationship. Being able to successfully resolve conflicts is the key to relational success. There is not doubt about it, relationships matter. The quality of the relationships we establish have a strong baring in our inner experience. Similarly, our inner experience also shape the quality of our relationships as well as our ability to manage interpersonal conflict.

Positive relationships can bring about increased self-esteem, positive emotions and enjoyment, while conflict in relationships foster negative views of others, the world and ourselves. Research on relationships suggests that when positive interactions outweigh negative, at ratio of 5 to 1, people experience higher levels of relational success.
