What are some different ways you can fight fair in your relationship?  This week we are discussing tips on healthy conflict resolution:

18. Don’t argue over nonnegotiable items like health & safety and dignity issues.

19. Deal with difficult things when they are easy (that is, small & cool).

20. What is it like from the other persons perspective, feelings, experience?

21. Learn that fights are NOT personal but have to do with very old stuff.

22. Discussion= attack the problem.  Arguement= attack each other.

23. Be open- always learn- Be generous of spirit- Risk- Use your heart a lot!

Did you recognize any ways that your conflict might be helped towards a more healthy direction?  We hope so!

Check back next week, when we will be discussing the serenity prayer!  As always, thank you for joining us!
