How to Manage Conflict

When a married couple is locked in conflict, it may seem strange to suggest that they sit down together and determine HOW they want to deal with that conflict. But they should! Because how they deal with their conflict will determine HOW WELL their lives will be after the conflict is over. If they decide to manage their conflict together, perhaps with the assistance of a neutral third person such as a Divorce Mediator, they will stay in control of the outcome and prevent outsiders such as lawyers and judges from making decisions that will impact their lives. And staying in control will allow them to manage their lives better once the conflict has ended.
