It is very interesting to know why a couple involved in a romantic relationship resolves their conflict in an active way -- that is, when a couple talks about the issue arising and trying to do something about it – ends up the same way as opposed to a couple who prefers to resolve their conflict in a passive way – that is, when they never really talked about their issuesand just let them die down naturally. A couple who resolves the issues in an active way, yes, but in a negative approach – like nagging, howling and threatening – may, in fact, be an effective means of resolving conflicts for some.

What do these different scenarios entail? First, there are many ways in resolving conflicts in romantic relationships. Second, one type of method of resolving conflicts may be effective to a couple but may not be to another. Third, the theory of trial-and-error applies in romantic relationships too. That is, in a romantic relationship, it wouldn't be healthy if conflicts aren't there. Couples always seek to find alternatives to solve these. If resolving an issue on the first attempt is not working, then the couple will choose to find another way of solving it. And so it is a process.
