Many of us shy away from conflict believing that it's a negative thing in relationships. But the opposite is true. Healthy ruptures are part of what maintains close, authentic intimate relationships. Not only do ruptures help us express our needs, they us to help realign with our child/friend/partner's needs. This is done through the most important part of the process - the repair. The repair allows us to express what our needs are, listen to the needs of the other person and to acknowledge what we both may have done to contribute to the problem or rupture. Doing this regularly and positively has a profound impact on how our children will manage conflict healthily as adults. Thanks for this wisdom.
