Create conflict free times and zones
Let's face it. If you are in a long term relationship, chances are that is at least some conflict in your relationship. This is normal and even healthy.
The 'masters of relationships' also have many areas of conflict in their lives but they manage to keep conflict in its place.
One way to 'keep conflict in its place' is to declare some times and zones in your life as conflict free. This means you will not let conflict intrude into these times and places.
It is a good idea, for example, to declare the bedroom and the dining table as sacred, conflict free zones. When you and your spouse are there, it is a time of amnesty, so to speak. You leave conflict out of these areas. You focus on things in your life other than conflict talk.
It may also be useful to declare early morning, late night and the first few minutes when you meet after a day apart as conflict free times.
After all, you did not get together with your spouse just to deal with conflict, did you?
