Conflict Management Quotes

“Author Dan Wile accurately points out that all couples have conflicts, miscommunication, and misunderstandings. In fact, he states that when two people get married, they are choosing a set of perpetual problems that will be there for decades- perhaps forever. Many people mistakenly believe that problems in a relationship are a sign that they married the wrong person. This is a naive and immature view of relationships. Wile says that if you had married someone else, you might not have the same problems that you have with your spouse, but you would undoubtedly have some set of problems with that person which seem to have no ostensible solution. They key is to accept that you and your spouse will have some things to work out, and the way you work them out is much more important than the solutions you come up with for the problems (assuming here are solutions to be found at all).”

“Leaders don't pray to God for money. They simply ask for His grace to solve problems. By solving problems, the money comes.”

“Of course, our natural impulse in these [intractable conflict] situations is to fight or flee. To lash out, blame, attack, or challenge someone, or otherwise try to get out and avoid the situation altogether. These responses make perfect sense in the short term, but likely will have little effect on the 5 percent [of conflicts that are intractable]. In fact, they may make matters worse in the long term. So if escaping or resolving this conflict is your goal (and we do not assume this is always the case), we suggest a different approach. And it begins with complicating your life.”

“I am convinced much of what is viewed as beneficial is far from essential. Yet, everything deemed essential will sooner or later prove to be beneficial.”

“One of the benefits in making a bold move to initiate and facilitate change in your life is in knowing you are not alone.”

“When the sting of pride begins to register mentally or emotionally, it is often met with a deliberate denial intended to camouflage and avoid the guilt.”

“We cannot change what we don’t acknowledge. We cannot conquer what we don’t confront. If we don’t deal with it, it is certain to deal with us. This is where many often get derailed, disabled, and eventually defeated.”

“We may have different points of arguments from perspectives of belief, faith and religion.But we must not hate each other. We are one human family.”
