Whether the relationship is between family members, friends, colleagues or spouse, communication is the key. Conflict and disagreements happen all the time when people are interacting with each other, but how individuals deal with conflict can impact the relationship.

Avoidance, refusal, or neglect of communication can be a knee-jerk response to frustration, but can have long-lasting consequences. Knowing this can enable people to create healthy and respectful relationships.
