Any relationship will have its fair share of conflict and tension. Life is unavoidably full of obstacles, but how you handle them is what matters. There are no right or wrong answers, but understanding your conflict style will help you understand how you approach it. Consider previous conflicts and how it went resolved. Two avoiders may have left much unsaid, leaving you both feeling passive-aggressive. On the contrary, the two instigators could have been explosive and in each other's faces all the time. Understanding your conflict style will help you argue more productively in your future relationship.
