Cold Wars in Relationships

In the realm of warfare, a Cold War may inflict a greater degree of damage more than open warfare. The problem with a cold war is that you may not know what the real issues are and how they could be resolved. In open warfare, you know your enemies and the reason for the conflict. Marriage is not supposed to be a battlefield but a partnership and a home of love and friendship. An affair, however, is sure to turn the marriage into a battle scene yielding a lot of casualties and broken hearts. How do you bring it back to being a home of love? Make peace and ensure that the affair is really over. The erring spouse should make a firm commitment to really let go of the affair and affirm the marriage.

Communication, of course, is important. This would help in ensuring that the issues are brought out into the open and resolve appropriately. With open and honest communication, both spouse could address their issues and work their ways toward solving their issues. Relationships are built upon trust and trust cannot be built without open and honest communication. If you have this, you won’t need to worry about a cold war between you and your spouse.
