Times of Conflict Make or Break Relationships
Posted by Dr. Ben Kim on Jun 23, 2023
It’s how we behave during times of conflict that ultimately determines the quality of our relationships.
To like, love, and even to adore are effortless when all is good.
But how well do we listen with deep intent to understand when there is disagreement?
How capable are we of considering our shortcomings and how we might have contributed to any conflict at hand?
If we can’t offer heartfelt empathy, and we refuse to take responsibility for our contributions to hurt feelings, the fracture only grows wider.
Conversely, when we focus on being a good listener and creating genuine peace, the relationship grows stronger.
