Fighting is an inevitable problem that couples will encounter, but how to resume chatting after a quarrel and continue to maintain good communication and relationships is a science. Suggestions will be given below from several aspects.
1. Calm down
When you have a dispute, the first thing to do is to calm down. It's easy to say hurtful things when you're emotional, which will only make things worse. Find a quiet place, take a few deep breaths, and calm yourself down.
2. Reflect on yourself
After calming down, reflect on whether you have done anything wrong. In quarrels, both parties are often responsible. Don't just look at the other party's mistakes, but also look at your own words and deeds. If you realize you made a mistake, admitting it and apologizing is the first step in rebuilding the relationship.
3. Give each other some time
Sometimes, it is necessary to give each other some time after a fight. Everyone needs to think calmly and calm down. You can agree on a time during which you will stop talking about the quarrel and focus on your own affairs. This will prevent further disputes.
4. Candid communication
When both parties have calmed down, candid communication can take place. Find a conversation-friendly environment where each other feels comfortable and safe. Listen to the other person's point of view and feelings first without interrupting or arguing. Then express your thoughts using an "I" tone rather than a "you" tone. Solve problems and reach consensus through effective communication.
5. Seek compromise
In communication, it is very important to seek compromise. Both sides need to make some concessions to achieve a win-win result. Don't be stubborn and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to find a balance. Compromise does not mean giving up one's principles, but to maintain the harmony of the relationship.
6. Rebuilding trust
Arguing can destroy trust between both parties, so it is also important to rebuild trust. Commit to correcting your mistakes and take action. At the same time, you must also believe that the other person will work hard for the betterment of the relationship. With time and effort, trust is gradually restored.
7. Maintain good communication
After a quarrel, maintaining good communication is the key to maintaining a relationship. Don’t let problems accumulate, communicate and solve them in a timely manner. Learn to listen to each other's needs and feelings and respect each other's opinions. Build stronger relationships through good communication.
Resuming a chat after an argument requires a joint effort from both parties. Calming down, reflecting on yourself, giving each other some time, communicating openly, finding compromises, rebuilding trust, and maintaining good communication are all key steps in achieving this goal. Relationships can only be made stronger by handling disputes in a rational and mature mannersolid.
