who each want something that is incompatible with what the other wants.]

[Conflict may focus on content (matters external to the relationship) or on
relationship issues (matters integral to the nature of the relationship).]

chill!

Aicha: Haha, exactly! But hey, compromise is key in any relationship, right?
[Seek out win–win solutions. Remember that both parties can win.]

Doha: Absolutely! Finding that middle ground can turn a disagreement into
an adventure.

Selma: Totally! Let's make sure we communicate our preferences clearly

next time to avoid any movie vs. hiking showdowns. [Use talk to discuss
the issues rather than trying to force the other person to accept your
position.]

Aicha: Cheers to that! Here's to finding harmony in our plans and keeping
the good times rolling!

try sushi for the first time? That was a victory for our influence!"
