54. How comfortable are you with confrontation or conflict? How do you usually resolve conflicts? One of you may be accustomed to confrontation, and for the other, it’s new. It may be second nature and a positive experience in your relationship, or a sign that it is in trouble. Perhaps you have wanted to discuss this but have been afraid to move in that direction. Talk about it. Where does anger enter into this issue? Anger expressed in a healthy, nonattacking way can build a relationship. Repressed or constantly held-in anger will eventually damage the person and the relationship.
