How to handle husband-wife disagreements By Linda Lewis Griffith, Scripps Howard News service Parental disagreements are the daily differences of opinion couples experience while raising their children. They are an inherent aspect of every relationship. And their management sets the tone for conflict resolution in the family.
Partners always differ in a marriage.
Opposing genders, unique DNA and diverse backgrounds mean personal variations in a relationship are the norm, not the exception. Too often couples see disagreements as proof that their husbands or wives are bad people. Never attempt to solve problems when you are angry. Instead, wait until you are both calm before negotiations begin. When you are talking, do so in a polite, respectful manner and avoid all forms of name-calling, yelling or attempts to gain control.
