About this test
All couples disagree. What makes the difference isn't how often you argue, but how you do it.
Choose what you would really do in each situation, not what you think you should do.
Five ways to deal with conflict
The Thomas-Kilmann model describes five conflict styles based on two axes: how much you care about your own goals and how much you care about the other person's. Competing prioritizes winning; avoiding steps away; accommodating gives in; compromising splits the difference; collaborating looks for a solution that works for both.
No style is always good or bad. The healthiest couples adapt their style to the situation, and save the effort of collaborating for the things that truly matter.
