Module 3. Handling Disagreements.

                                     Summary and Reflection.

It’s tough for anyone to consider the challenges which could happen in their relationship. You, however, completed this module. That shows courage on your part.Congratulations!!

In the process of your studies, you’ve learned different ways people handle anger and the feelings which are often causing the anger. Sometimes, to avoid their fears, partners play emotional games with each other.   

Games can play a part in relationships. You want your games to strengthen your relationship through communication rituals and actions, which show your love in a way which brings a light to your partner’s eyes.

Moving forward, now that you’ve discussed common disagreements and how to handle them, you’ll learn in Module 4, about the need for personal space. This isn’t something often discussed until it brims over in a disagreement.

Before moving on to Module 4, though, remember that the best way to ensure that new information has taken root within you is to reflect on what you’ve learned and put it into action.

Please take time to answer the following self-reflection questions.

Self-Reflection Questions.

1. What do you see as possible challenges in your relationship? What is your plan to address these challenges?
2. Everyone gets angry, even if they don’t show it. Reflect on how you handle anger and what you could do to handle it more effectively.
