You and your partner have been arguing exhaustively about something that matters to you. For example, on your next vacation destination. Wedding Affair brings some effective ways to resolve conflict.
Interests Not Positions
You’ve each stated your position, ie where you both want to go for vacations. But what is your and your partner’s interest behind your positions? What is your interest in visiting your favorite vacation spot? What motivates it? Identify each of your interests in holding your position. Suppose behind your interest in vacationing is your desire to hike and your partner’s is to swim. Now each position becomes more flexible. Find an area featuring both hiking and swimming.
Take Turns
Compromise by alternating preferences. This vacation you and your partner go swimming, next summer it’s hiking.
Quid Pro Quo
This is also called behavioral exchange. What is something he’s wanted you to do that you’ve resisted, perhaps visiting his friends with him.  Agree to visit his friends if in return he agrees to hike with for the vacation.
Do Your Own Thing
You may both agree it’s not necessary to vacation together. You can spend it in the hiking while your partner swims. Perhaps a break from each other may prove welcome.
View It As An Experiment
You may resist your partner’s idea thinking it will be etched in stone forever. Instead, agree it’s an experiment to be reevaluated afterward. You may discover it was quite enjoyable or, perhaps, worse than you thought and a non-negotiable in the future.
Flip A Coin
As a last resort, let chance decide for you. Flip a coin, draw straws, roll a die. Most likely it’s significantly better than butting heads for days or weeks in a deadlock.
