An African woman, Modupe Ehirim has given healthy tips to both intending and couples seeking how to bring or maintain peace in their homes.
Modupe Ehirim, a marriage counselor, who have been successfully married for 38 years while sharing her successful marital story wrote “After 38 years of marriage, I have come to the realization that conflict is an unavoidable part of marriage.
“When you join your life with another person, clashes are bound to happen over issues big and small, just like you experienced when you were living with your siblings.
“Conflict happens because you and your partner have different origins, upbringing, life exposure and experiences.
“As a result you see many things differently and interpret them differently.
“But the key to a lasting, loving marriage isn’t avoiding disagreements altogether.
“It’s about having the tools to resolve conflicts in a healthy, constructive way.
“So, whether you’re newlyweds or have been married for decades, these tips can help you and your spouse resolve conflicts:
“⬇️ Listen to understand. Concentrate on what your spouse is communicating – not just their words but their underlying feelings and needs too.
“⬇️ Think or breathe before you speak.
“⬇️ Understand that marriage is a partnership, not a competition. Instead of focusing on who’s right or wrong, work together to find a solution that works for both of you.
“⬇️ Avoid accusatory statements.
“Remember, a happy marriage isn’t about not having misunderstandings; it’s about resolving them amicably and finding your way back to each other.”
Rooting for you! ????
