Discussion

The endless dispute only increases anger through outrageous advices by others and soon Brooke realizes that she is fighting more to save her relationship with Gary then the condominium.It is understood by a greater majority that communication in a relationship is very important, however, little emphasis is done on how to achieve it (Mensline.org, 2007). A healthy relationship requires negotiation, limits and communication. A negotiation process requires both couples to effectively take part in conflict resolution. A good way to achieve this is by listening to the other partner. This is where partner 1 speaks out and then partner 2 speaks out, after which partner 1 makes correction. This procedure is repeated with reversal of roles.
