You know conflict resolution is a skill neither she nor I really learned. Its actually a big issue with our generation and our marriage. We learned how to either be highly compromising to the point we compromise our core values or to not compromise on anything. Us gen Xer's really got shortchanged by our parents on this subject. There's actually been a lot written about it with Gen X.
As for our marriage, conflict resolution is something we didn't have, we avoided. This was identified immediately by our marriage counselor back in our first session in January. With that the 4 weeks we saw her and were talking we both recognized this and actually made great strides in it. But we have reverted to old ways again. Time for me to take the lead on it I guess.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
