How To Resolve Conflict In A Marriage
Viewpoint 1
Arguments arise when needs aren’t being met. It’s that simple. If they’re fighting, look at the routine: sleep, food, money, sex, stress. Are they eating well? Sleeping enough? Is their home a mess? Before talking it to death, fix the physical. Real harmony begins with balance in the body and surroundings. People forget that love can run dry just from an empty fridge or a broken faucet.
Viewpoint 2
A marriage is never just two bodies or two minds. It is two beings, each carrying a world of memory, longing, and unseen thought. Conflict often signals a deeper misalignment in their inner lives. I’d urge them to ask not just “what happened?” but “what soul-need in me is unheard?” Love returns when each becomes a witness to the other’s hidden world — the unseen thinker within.
Viewpoint 3
When a couple fights, they need to stop pretending it’s all about feelings or destiny. It's two people, living together, clashing over real things. The way forward? Face what’s actually happening. He wants X, she wants Y. Talk it through, compromise, decide. Not every problem has some deep emotional cause. They have to be practical. Step back. What are the facts? Start there.
Viewpoint 4
Emotions confuse. Patterns don’t. If a couple argues, plot the behavior. Chart the escalation. Observe the cycle. There’s always a system beneath the noise. Maybe he withdraws, she pursues — over and over. Predictable. Interrupt the loop. Insert a new variable. Structure a plan: rules for talking, times for silence, triggers to avoid. Relationships may feel chaotic, but beneath that, they’re mechanical. Learn the pattern. Solve the equation.
Viewpoint 5
Each soul is a center of experience, whole unto itself. Conflict flares when one tries to dominate or define the other. The solution is not fusion but recognition: “You are your own world.” I’d have them spend time apart, not to separate, but to strengthen their centers. When each reclaims their own depth, they can meet again — not as fragments, but as two inner worlds freely touching.
Viewpoint 6
What we call “conflict” is just a shifting play of appearances. One moment he looks cruel, the next she seems unreasonable — but are they? Or are those just fleeting perceptions? They must learn to witness what shows itself, without clinging to what they think is true. Conflict fades when we stop believing every image our emotions paint. Just observe. Let the truth emerge from what is shown, not assumed.
Viewpoint 7
Marriage only thrives when both see it as more than shared chores or fleeting affection. They must recall the higher purpose: to grow together into something greater than themselves. Conflict is a sign they’ve lost sight of the ideal. I’d ask them: What dream once brought you together? What virtue are you failing to live? If they can reach for that again, the argument will dissolve like morning mist.
Viewpoint 8
They must find common ground in shared logic. Strip away emotional distortions and focus on what makes sense for both. What principles do they live by? What are their values, their long-term goals? Emotions will shift, but reasons endure. When reason speaks clearly, even the loudest fight begins to lose its power. I’d tell them to trust the clarity of thought — not the turbulence of the moment.
Viewpoint 9
They don’t need counseling. They need a walk in the sun, a warm meal, to hear music that moves the body. Conflict shrivels when the senses are nourished. Words tangle them; touch untangles. Look at how he stares at her when she laughs freely, or how she melts when he brushes her hair. That’s where peace lives — not in theory, but in sensation. Feed the senses, and the love returns.
Viewpoint 10
You can’t heal a marriage through words alone. You must feel what the other wills. What burns in her heart? What silent force drives him? The Spirit in each must be honored, not just their roles. True peace comes when each can look at the other and sense: “Here is not just my spouse, but a willing spirit shaped by the cosmos, just like me.” That changes everything.
Viewpoint 11
Fights aren’t just misunderstandings — they’re clashing currents. Two wills pushing against each other. To resolve conflict, you have to feel the force, the intensity behind the words. Who’s driving what? Where is the energy blocked? I’d tell them: stop talking and move — walk, dance, create. Let the locked-up forces express. Once the energy flows again, love can return, like water rushing through an unblocked channel.
Viewpoint 12
No marriage can heal unless both partners remember that they are spiritual beings first. Beneath the anger and misunderstanding is a forgotten bond made long before this life. I’d tell them: go inward. Pray together, meditate, listen for the whisper behind the words. The fight is only the surface; the truth lies in the soul’s quiet knowing. Love isn’t lost — only hidden beneath the illusion of conflict.
