Conflictul dintre noi

Conflictul dintre noi looks at why couples clash. It asks how they can deal with these clashes. Domnica Petrovai says conflict need not harm a couple's bond. What counts is how each partner deals with it. This self-help book is for couples under strain or in crisis.

Couples may clash over family visits, unmet needs or phone use. Petrovai looks at the feelings behind these fights. She asks each partner to take charge of their own feelings. Each must also think about the other's needs. Those who shun conflict may retreat into work or an affair. Blame, attacks on each other and violence can cause more harm.

The book gives examples and ways to work through strong feelings. It aims to help readers know themselves and form stronger bonds. Petrovai shows how each partner plays a part in conflict. She stresses that both must commit to change. One couple shares their views on the worth of therapy. They stress the need to speak freely about their needs.
