HEY!! 

Happy New Year you guys!!! Hello 2022! I start of the brand new year with letting you know some thoughts on how I would like for my year to go and how She Loves Her, Co. fits into that. And I also talk about a subject that A LOT of us struggle with and don't talk about it - conflict in relationships. After taking an amazing relationship course in 2021, I am determined to have better relationships in my life, especially my close ones (romantic, family and friends). We're going to talk about it here, starting with my new series called "Real Life". You can read the first installment here: Conflict in Relationships, Part I.

You’re normal. Going through periods of high conflict is completely normal. It happens to almost all couples, and you and your spouse are probably no worse or better than others when it comes to conflict in relationship. So many couples ask: “Is this normal? Do other couples struggle like us? I didn’t know that it would be this hard.” Even though we never really know what goes on behind closed doors, there’s a very high probability that the couples in your social circle argue as often and as intensely as you and your spouse do, and maybe even more. I share how conflict has impacted my own relationship....guys, this was hard, but we do vulnerability around here. We show up in truth.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest causes of divorce is conflict. So many marriages end because of a breakdown in communication and because the repair of conflict in the relationship isn’t handled well.

Know that conflict in relationship is absolutely normal and should not be viewed as wrong. Conflict occurs in every relationship, which only provides us with opportunities to share concerns and feelings and resolutions involving negotiation and collaboration. Conflict can be healthy, if done correctly. Please don’t avoid it, think that that it’s bad, or even think that it fits one look….an all out, drag out screaming match. Not all conflict looks like that. Conflict can be silent as well.

So let's talk about it and learn together.
