    1. I agree. I believe people should always consider their partners feelings and choose wisely the stands they take in their relationship. I also believe people should work hard on communication. This act alone can eliminate many struggles.

    1. Good evening Tasha. I agree. You should never walk in authority you don't have. This should be established at the beginning of a relation. Which leads me to my next point.

  9. Another way to avoid power struggles is to plan ahead. Some situation can be avoid. For example parenting styles, they should discuss how and who should handle certain situation. Couples should plan for the unexpected too, a unplanned pregnancy.

  14. I also believe an issue in relationships is when women constantly remind their men that she makes more money or she brings more to the table, doing this makes men feel unneeded and unappreciated.

  19. Overall, power struggles are inevitable,but couples can reduce damage and misunderstands to a minimum. By building a solid foundation, having open and honest communication and mutual respect, and always remember that they chose to be together in the first place. Be bless and goodnight.
