Dr. Sue Johnson's Protest Polka

When you are in a relationship, arguments or disagreements can arise. They can often trigger strong emotions that lead to hurtful words and uneasiness. If these conflicts are not resolved in a healthy way, resentment and a dissolved relationship could follow. However, when they are resolved in a proper manner, it could promote growth between the couple and fortify the bonds of their relationship (Conflict Resolution Skills).

Conflict, confrontation, and problems are inevitable in human relationships. They will occur, like it or not, it is a part of life. The word of God reminds us in Luke 17:1 that offenses will diffidently come into our lives. However, we cannot allow them become trapped in our spirit because it will harm relationships with the offenders. For that reason, someone must take the initiative to address the breach in the relationship through effective confrontation. Again, to express the importance of resolving conflict and finding peace in relationships, the Lord declares in Psalms 133:1, 3 that he blesses those who dwell in unity. According to

Phil noted that men and women are wired differently and attempting to blur viewpoints is unnatural and dangerous. When couples try to insist their viewpoints on each other, it often starts ego-conflict that can be harmful to the self-esteem. Which ties in with Myth #3 “Great relationships cause great problem-solving.” Ironic myth, right? The ability to problem solve seems to be a key component in healthy relationships? Dr. Phil embellished on this by pointing out that 90 percent of conflicts in relationships are unsolvable, and you can still be happy even if you and your partner can’t solve disagreements. “There are things that you and your partner disagree about and will continue to disagree about. Why can’t you once and for all resolve these issues? Because in order to do so, one of you would have to sacrifice your values and beliefs.” The textbook describes one of the dangers when engaging in conflict is when power is unequally distributed by interpersonal power. Which causes the other partner to feel unheard and weak in the relationship. Dr. Phil gives the advice that agreeing to disagree is O.K.. If the problem is unsolvable, it’s healthy to reach emotional closure this

The United States and Mexico border fence has been a recent debate with the people because of the irresistible flow of Mexican illegal in the United States. Living in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, I may be able to see a huge wall or fence being built on our border with Mexico. Other than the economic recession we have to this day, people still have their views and opinions expressed on another topic, the “segregation” wall. Some express opinions on whether this wall will keep illegal immigrants out, others speak on how this is a total disaster both financially and emotionally as in this wall being referred to as “racist”.

In between beating each other up or cursing each other out, the love these two share a love as sweet and sincere as any.

After, seeing many versions of media that display argumentative fighting and passionate love, the main couples that stand out the most to me are the notorious problematic couple Ross and Rachel from the TV show Friends. In the series they explain the secret love from Ross that he has for Rachel that began in High school. Ultimately, later in adulthood they become a couple and were known for long explosive fights due to infidelity, lack of relationship space and miscommunication. As a couple they were on again off again many times, although still having a deep love for one another. Finally at the end of the series the couple has an unplanned child and stay together as a couple, while being closer together

My advice to you for a successful relationship is to be open and honest with each other about how you feel. It starts by identifying barriers to effective interpersonal communication. In fact, being open and honest with your significant other is very important in not creating problems later on the relationship. When you are honest you build trust. According to Pope (2007) the article states “When you’re suppressing communication and feelings during conflict with your husband, it’s doing something very negative to your physiology, and in the long term it will affect

The Jacksonian period has been regarded as the era of the “common man”, this characterization only holds true in regard to politics. Jackson’s action in economic development was little different from when this era began. His view towards reforms were threatening and unwanting.

Imagine hearing the news that your worst enemy is in love with you and cannot visualize a life without you in it. Many people will never encounter this situation in their life, but you can picture the conflicted feelings one might have after hearing this. The emotions might go from disgust to maybe sympathy or even believing that you reciprocate this love towards them. But deep down, is this a love worth pursuing? Can the love over power the habit of conflict or will the passion succumb to the constant battles between the two personalities.Some might say that love can overcome anything, but in reality, this relationship will be filled with conflicted emotions and opinions.

Partner’s should take turns talking about how they each felt in their disagreement. The third step is to identify the deep triggers. Often times triggers come from deep inside someone, for example vulnerabilities from childhood. The fourth step is to recount the history of these triggers. Explaining what caused partners to react in certain ways helps avoid those same issues in the future.

When looking at how my fiancé views my conflict style compared to my own view, I wasn’t shocked. She also determined that I would be in the Non-Confrontational category, but the figures were slightly different compared to my own. With my own assessment, the highest figure was Non-Confrontational and then Solution-Orientation. With her assessment of me, it went Non-Confrontational and then Control oriented. So she views my conflict style slightly different then how I view my own. I don’t think that we have ever really narrowed it down to why we choose to go through conflicts that way. I believe that we both have always viewed conflicts as being negative and destructive instead of possibly constructive. I think we have avoided laying down a general outline of expectations and goals fearing that one would appear more in power over the other.

     As with any marriage, problems will obviously occur, and the manner in which these problems are handled will most often affect the happiness of the couple. Another major issue of dicussion is the amount of time a couple spends with each other, as well as the quality of the interaction, and lastly, the issue of similarity will be addressed. In order for a marriage to succeed, the communication patterns of the couple must be similar and compatible if there is to be any agreement between the spouses.

Handling conflict is a skill which can be learned. It requires practice, discipline and self-control. In the midst of conflict, most people forget the overall goal in addressing the conflict: Having your partner understand your feelings and resolving the disagreement. The more a couple can keep this goal in mind the less likely either will engage in criticism, yelling or name-calling. These behaviors only fuel the conflict (Managing Conflict in Your Relationship,

Supply chain risk management is an intersection of supply chain management and risk management. For this we need to understand the benefits and as well as the limitations of both the concepts. Supply chain risk is about any threat of interruption in the order of workings of the supply chain. This Risk is generated as result of risk ‘drivers’ that are internal or external to the company or the practitioner.
