| Finding somebody with whom you would like to start up a close relationship is hard, but making the relationship long-lasting may be a lot harder. No relationship is without conflict. The way in which we deal with these conflict situations will define our personalities. Some marriages will endure harder challenges and this causes them to build up a closer relationship or it forces them to terminate the relationship. Then there are the families that deal with large conflicts that occur due to kids moving from tweens to teens. Irrespective of the cause, conflict is unavoidable and we all have to face it sooner or later. Learning to solve conflict situations and working on the relationship using diverse tactics is essential to save the relationship. Evolutionary researchers examined "mate retention strategies" in American men and ladies and found these strategies include being excessively watchful and threatening violence. Men's and women's strategies applied to keep their marriages intact differ. According to the results of a study conducted of 214 married people by scientists from the University of Texas, men use their social status and financial success as a strategy to keep their mate interested in them more often. Men also admitted to keep their spouses interested by making promises of changes and making threats of sexual betrayal. Ladies were also more likely than men to work on their physical appearance, thus keeping husbands interested. As far as marital infidelity goes, it was discovered that if a man suspected that his wife was unfaithful, he would try to keep his wife from public activities, threaten punishment and criticize other men. It is interesting to know, ladies who suspected that their husbands were having an affair did not work on the relationship any harder than those without suspicions. Unfortunately, some men's tactics involved behaviors that are identified as early indicators of the physical abuse of wives, said the authors. For example, in an earlier survey, 72% of women requiring medical care reported that their husbands limited their contact with family members and friends, wanted to know the ladies' whereabouts and insulted ladies. |
