External and internal Conflicts in Marriage

-

Every marriage has to face conflicts. Conflicts may arise from the outside when we allow external intruders to interfere with our marriage or from the inside. The difference between a good and a bad marriage is not, whether conflicts are present, but how we proceed to resolve them. But first, let's look at  various sources of external and internal conflicts. Thereafter, in our subsequent articles, we shall proceed to how each conflicts can be resolved.

The root cause of conflicts in marriage: External
  1. Work.
  2. Children.
  3. Affairs.
  4.  In-laws.
  5. Friends.
  6. Television.
  7.  Internet (social media).
  8. Addictions.
Most of these aren’t bad in themselves, but they can be destructive for a relationship, when they come between a couple’s love.

The root cause of conflicts in marriages: Internal
They range from simple disagreements about unimportant things to serious problems that are caused by sinful behavior of one spouse. Common examples are:
  1.  Sin of one spouse.
  2.  Immaturity.
  3.  Hurt feelings that are no one’s fault.
  4.  Conflicting desires.
  5.  Individual desires versus the needs of the relationship.
  6. Hidden faults.
The rules for dealing with such conflicts depend on the nature of the conflict. They don’t wait for invitation to intrude into our marriage_they show up by themselves. If we want to prevent that from happening, we must become active and protect our marriage. We have to recognize the dangers and put up well balanced measures. We need to learn to say no to them, before they become so strong, that we can’t seem to fend them off anymore. This doesn’t come for free_it will cost us a lot. However, if we invest into our marriage and spend time, effort, and sacrifice in protecting our marriage from such influences, the chances for having a rock solid marriage are quite high.

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Titling

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

-

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks. It makes students easily distinguishable to outsiders. It might even cause financial issues for guardians with limited income. In such a case, the solution is to allow students to dress according to a specific dress code. All

Things to consider include career objective, occupation, industry, experience, years of experience , scope of accomplishments and education/training.
