In avoiding conflict, you should ask yourself some question before uttering any word out of your mouth. These are some of the question you can ask yourself before opening your mouth:
1. Is what am saying really true? Ephesians 4:25; Proverb18:13.
2. Is what I would like to say profitable to my partner? Will it help or hurt him or her? Proverb20:15; Romans 15:12.
3. Is this the right time to say what I have to say? Or do I wait for more opportuned time? Proverb 15:23,28a; 25:11.
4. Is my attitude right? 1 Corinthians 16:14; Ephesians 4:15.
5. Is my choice of word the best in put ting the ideas I have across? Proverbs 15:1,2; 16:23.
6. Have I prayed about the matter and am I trusting God to help me in my communication? Proverbs 3:5,6: Psalm 19:14.
You will find these questions rewarding if they are asked and answered before going into sensitives areas of discussion.
