underlying issues to restore harmony and strengthen the
relationship. Instead of avoiding confrontation, the couple engages
in open and honest communication, actively listening to each

mutually acceptable solutions, apologize for any wrongdoing, and
forgive each other. Through this process of reconciliation and
understanding, they not only resolve the immediate conflict but

absence of conflict without resolving the root cause of the
disagreement. While there may not be active arguing, unresolved
tensions and unspoken grievances linger beneath the surface,
leaving the relationship vulnerable to future conflicts.
