FAMILY FEUDS | WHAT DO YOU DO?

Every relationship has them. Times where it seems that no matter what you do, or don't do, you and your companion just can't seem to see eye to eye.

First it's the blowout or disagreement - okay, for some it's a flat-out fight! Then both parties seem to go to their corner and either harbor anger or begin to cool off. No matter how long it is, there is always that weirdness, or tension, that is there. Do I make the first attmept to reconcile? Do I apologize? Is it the right time? Is it too early? What do I say or do?

Know this, we are all the same. There is no relationship that blossoms into a beautiful thing of trust, loyalty, and appreciation wihout having had some sort of fight to learn to get through. If you are in one of those "weird" stages where you and your companion are just getting on each other's nerves, and trying each other's patience, please understand that to arrive at a wonderful place of serenity, trust, and true affection, then there has to be something to challenge, test, and build it from.

Challenges cause you to either work and pour into the relationship for its improvement, or simply give up trying. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Is the relationship worth working through the tough times? Only you can answer that.
