Think of that for a second, how could a struggle for power be a good thing in a relationship? Let's take a quick look at how a relationship usually goes. You like someone, you feel vulnerable as you admit these feelings, then grow closer as the feelings become mutual. Then, you don't see eye to eye on something. So what happens now that here is a struggle for power?
A. You both leave it alone and hope that subject doesn't come back up
B. Someone just agrees and hopes it goes away
C. You both decide to talk it out.
It seems as though the answer is obvious. If you care for someone, you talk it out. You understand each others point of view and come to a mutual agreement.
How does this help your relationship?
Well, for starters, you know if that person is a hot head! And how to avoid that!
But more importantly, you learn to grow, TOGETHER. You learn more about the person you are in a relationship and, hopefully, your feelings grow stronger. Why? Well, who doesn't like their opinion to be heard and mean something to someone else. Especially to the one person that is important to you.
Conflict, my friends, is a blessing in disguise. This small struggle for power or need to have things our way, can help us determine if we are really committed to our partner. If we are willing to talk things out to make one another happy.
Totally love this.... Made me realize a few things I just didn't have the words to say how I felt x)
