Relationships are about skill, not luck. Conflict resolution is the most important skill. Here are some questions you need to ask after a fight so you two can grow together.
1. Reflect: Why did the conflict happened?
2. Rewind: How should the conflict have been handled?
3. Research: How should conflicts generally be dealt with?
4. Teach: How should people generally respond to conflicts in their relationship?
5. Confirm your reasoning. Why does this kind of response makes sense?
6. Make a Plan: What would be most helpful for dealing with future conflicts?
Researchers found that this exercise encourages participants to engage in intentional and constructive self-reflection, become more objective and mindful about their responses in conflicts and better understand how to navigate such situations in the future.
