➋ Highlight common interests and long-term goals.

➌ Create several solutions for resolving the conflict that are satisfactory to both of you.

➍ Combine the best elements of these ideas into a single, workable solution.

➎ Evaluate the solution you’ve collaboratively created, ensuring that it’s fair and ethical.

➌ Employ a collaborative approach, and avoid kitchen-sinking.

➍ As you negotiate solutions, keep your original goals in mind but remain flexible about how they can be attained.

➎ Revisit relationship rules or agreements that might have triggered the conflict, and consider redefining them in ways that prevent future disputes.
