Conflict Is Not the Downfall of Relationships

· Vlog

There can be a lot of focus placed on avoiding conflict in relationships, but there isn't as much talk about how to bounce back after conflict. For most couples, conflict is a normal part of intimate relationships. And for us, what helped us most when we were experiencing significant conflict in our relationship was recognizing our capacity to get over it and suffer less. 

This takes the pressure off trying to create a conflict-free relationship and instead allows room for humanness and learning while recognizing the capacity we all have to emotionally stabilize and regain our bearings. 

So when we got into a tizzy before recording this vlog, even though we had conflict, we didn't make it mean anything about us or our relationship. This helped us stay in the moment and eventually it fizzled out. Now we are settled we can see the conflict was a reflection of our low moods colliding and there isn't anything to do or fix. 

Having room for conflict in our relationship has actually helped to significantly reduce the amount of conflict we experience and recognizing our resilience to bounce back means we don't see it as a big deal. 

How easy is it for you to return to a feeling of goodwill toward your partner after conflict? Does anything get in the way of your bounce back?

If you would like to listen to the Rewilding Love Podcast, it comes out in serial format. Start with Episode 1 for context. Click here to listen. And, if you would like to dive deeper into the understanding I share along with additional support please check out the Rewilding Community.
