Every couple has conflict. Having the right tools in your tool box will help you manage it.

Healthy couples manage conflict in their marriage by doing little things like deliberately dealing with anger. Bite your tongue and back off until you calm down. Process what is making you angry and then share your concern. Also, don’t be an archeologist who digs up the past and shines a light on it. Bringing up old hurts and comparing your spouse to their parents will complicate the current issue. Stay with the here and now. If you have a problem using the right tool will help you fix it.
