Conflict in relationships is inevitable. If you haven't had a conflict yet, you haven't been paying attention. Communication increases conflict. If you haven't had a conflict yet, you haven't really been talking. Conflict is the beginning of a real relationship, not the end. If you haven't had a conflict yet, you haven't been real. Violence is not conflict. Violence is conflict avoidance. Conflict is like electricity, it can turn on a light, power change, or burn down the house. To enjoy the benefits of conflict, you need to know how to regulate it. A short book, packed with wisdom, disarming humor, and refreshing directness, Constructive Conflict shows how you can manage your conflicts.
