37. Managing Domestic Conflict
Conflict is inevitable, especially in marital unions. You will get in each other’s way. You may have different perspectives on different issues. How do you manage conflicts? Do you prevent them? Do you address them as they approach? Do you become dominant? Do you become aggressive? Do you become abusive? Do you become violent? Do you become rational? Do you pray for wisdom? Do you involve third parties? Do you reflect and find a solution? Do you jointly find a solution? Do you come to a compromise? Do you binge eat?
Do you find your joy elsewhere? Do you concentrate on improving your personality? Do you communicate with wisdom? Do you concentrate on finding faults rather than solutions? Do you let in the children, or third parties into conflicting moments? Do you seek a divorce or separation? What do you do?
