How to Resolve a Marriage Conflict

The fate of a marriage
depends on each partner’s ability to love,
to care, to feel attachment,
develop intimacy, express emotion
and to commit to resolving marriage conflict without conquest.

Sometimes, the ability to monitor and resolve conflict
is what makes or breaks a marriage.

Marriage Problem Solving

It is incorrect to teach compromise
as a solution to marriage conflict.
What is compromise?
Compromise means you don’t get what you want
and I don’t get what I want,
or you only get part of what you want
and I only get part of what I want.
Either way, no one is satisfied.

_______________________________________________________

More poignant and useful is the concept of sacrifice;
transcending one’s own need through empathy.

_______________________________________________________

Sometimes (not always!)
what’s better for “us”
is forgetting what’s best for “me”.

At Mt. Sinai, the Jewish people were so filled with the passion of the Jewish soul to get closer and closer to God - three times God had to tell them not to touch the mountain.

In a good marriage,
there is a passion to share joy and be close,
yet both partners have to maintain separate identities;
have to have some boundaries.

Marriage Problem Relationship Tip

Marriage problems will not always be solved intellectually.
Sometimes they can only be solved through attachment. Attachment to the marriage, if not to each other.
