20.09.2024 05:10
It's a blessing to have a family where everyone loves, respects and supports each other.
Where there is an atmosphere of mutual understanding, positivity, mutual interest and attraction.
Causes of conflicts
What prevents a person from achieving all of the above and enjoying family life? The reasons can be internal, psychological and external.
External ones include:
1. Everyday difficulties.
2. Housing and material problems.
3. Disagreements in raising children.
4. Bad habits (alcoholism, gambling...).
Psychological reasons play a primary role in conflicts. They are the ones that traumatize and destroy relationships.
People often unconsciously hurt each other emotionally by following negative behavioral habits that their parents taught them by example.
What gets in the way is unpreparedness for marriage, that is, unwillingness to take responsibility for another, inability to empathize, egocentrism, as well as ignorance of the differences between male and female psychology.
Ways to solve the problem
To get out of the conflict that has arisen with a sense of spiritual closeness, without offending anyone and without losing your own values, psychologists advise:
1. Always say right away what you don’t like.
Keeping silent about problems leads to the accumulation and replaying of negative thoughts, and in the future, "you can make a mountain out of a molehill."
It is also better for a woman to talk about her plans in advance, because men really don’t like spontaneity and inconsistency, and for women this is typical due to their greater emotionality.
2. When speaking, do not blame anyone, speak only about your feelings.
In this case, no one will be offended and it will be easier for a person to understand and accept what is happening.
3. Accept others as they are.
Rejection of any qualities, the desire to remake a person leads to alienation from each other.
People change for the better if they give each other support and understanding, accept and share the values of a loved one. Relationships should be equal and honest.
4. Respect personal boundaries.
Treat your own personality with care and consideration, respect the needs and feelings of your loved one.
Avoid touching on dangerous topics in conversation (criticism of family and friends, nationality, religion or sexuality).
Conclusion on the topic
People who love each other, following these simple tips, can preserve and increase happiness in the family. Good relationships are joy, vivid impressions and reliable support in life.
