Intimate relationships are extremely important. Most of us are either actively seeking them out or are trying to maintain the ones we have. They can be a great source of love, pleasure, support and excitement. However they can also be a source of pain and anguish if problems arise and don’t go away. One thing that’s important to remember is that conflict is a normal part of all relationships. Learning how to resolve conflicts and differences of opinion is a must for any relationship to flourish. It is important that if you and your partner or other family members acknowledge that there is a problem than it must be addressed.
