Marital conflict is an unavoidable part of life. We are, after all, individuals with several and occasional contradictory thoughts, needs and viewpoints. While conflict is inevitable in marriages and relationships, it is also ironic in that it is neither fundamentally good nor fundamentally bad; instead, it all comes down to how it is resolved.

How a conflict conversation initiates plays a significant role in the direction of the entire discussion. For the most part, the conclusion of a ‘conflict conversation’ can be predicted based on the first three minutes also known as the ‘StartUp.’
