Is Conflict Necessary for a Healthy Relationship?

So, who enjoys having a conflict with a loved one? No one? I should hope not. But listen, in all honesty sometimes conflicts are necessary. Its a form of communication. However, if you are fighting every day, every time you see one another then that isn't communication – because that isn't healthy, and you should sort it out or get out.

Conflict could be a sign of needing change – I don't mean every time you have a conflict it means you should stop seeing each other – all I'm saying is that maybe you need to allow growth and development within your relationship, or to sort out any doubts or problems you are having in your relationship.

Or perhaps its about something deeper that what you are currently arguing about. For example, maybe you fighting about how that person didnt do something you asked them too, but in reality you may be just scared they dont trust you or something deeper other than they didnt do something you asked. Sometimes, conflict can show when two people just don't gel anymore, and something needs to change.

Overall, conflicts are necessary for a healthy relationship if there isnt an extreme amount of them. Conflict can be a sign of a need for the relationship or the people in the relationship to grow and develop, and that there are relationship problems that need to be addressed.
