Chandra B. with guest author Adrian Carter sit down and have a real conversation about the unspoken and misunderstood conflict that continues to occur between men and women especially Black Men and Women.  This conversation explores the idea of a paradigm shift within the historical context of how men and women relate to one another.  Mr. Carter suggests that conflict is typically about needs or values.  What the difference between compromising, negotiating and resolving conflict?

·       Compromise – meeting in the middle

·       Conflict Resolution – peaceful solutions 

·       Negotiations  - win-win outcomes or is it.  Mr. Carter believes that Negotiations starts with the couple being against each other rather than working as a team.  He suggest that collaboration is preferred as it offers up more possible solutions.

  What’s the BIG DEAL…all couples argue Is arguing healthy for relationships... They say couples rarely are arguing about what they are arguing about...Is all problems resolvable 

 Why do resolutions fail? What are the signs that the solution is not working?  What do we need to know in order to resolve conflict?  What are the key elements of successfully negotiating your needs with your partner?  Compromise without sacrifice.  Hostile negotiations are those situations when a partner demands the other make a certain choice, without further discussion 

What are some simple actions listeners can take to improve they approach to conflict resolution? Mr. Carter suggests couples should approach the problem as one.  This puts couple on the same side seeking a solutions that works for all involved.
