Purpose Of A Relationship Jasmine Badge

Unfortunately, most people (including many professionals) don’t know how to fight or don’t fight enough, or at all! They tend to teach conflict resolution rather than conflict completion. Contrary to conventional wisdom, conflict can be a couple’s secret weapon for coming closer, not a sign they’re coming apart. At least when couples know why they fight, how to fight, and what to fight for. For the next twenty-four hours, deliberately speak hopefully about everything, about your job, about your children’s marks in school, about your health, and about your future. Understand, too, that many of your beliefs about relationships and conflict may be based on myths and misconceptions. Get ready to question what you’ve been taught about relationships. In fact, start out with these myth-busting truths: Chemistry does not make great relationships. Finding the right person isn’t the answer. Working on your relationship doesn’t work—working on yourself does. Communication skills don’t lead to great relationships and conflict resolution isn’t the best way to deal with your fights. The purpose of a relationship isn’t to make you happy; it’s to make you your best. ~ JB
