In my opinion, when there are problems or issues within the family, all parties should be open to communicate and understand where the other is coming from so that it doesn’t lead to any kind of resentment. It is best not to take sides. Having peaceful homes with good family dynamics is what the future needs.

Problems are a part of our daily life, especially in our home. We have faced difficulties sometimes, but we choose to make things right before it gets worse. For every problem we encounter, each member will ask for forgiveness and the offended member will forgive each other.

Try to shift the focus away from the conflict. You might bring up a neutral topic or suggest a break to cool down. Create space. If the argument continues, consider suggesting that the family members step aside to discuss the issue privately.
— Hershey Jutajero
Take time to cool off. Emotions can run high during an argument. When people are angry, hurtful words come out. It is important for everyone to take some time to cool down before trying to resolve the issue. Approach the situation with empathy and a willingness to heal and connect, rather than focusing on winning the argument.
— Rowena Lozon
To heal a family quarrel, allow each person to express their feelings and perspectives without interruption. Show empathy and understanding. Remember that maintaining family relationships is often more important than being right. Focus on love and understanding.

There are different levels of quarell in my family, even though it is not a big quarell, it still affects everyone. There are silent quarells, because of the thought that we don’t want to offend the other party, then we choose to stay silent. Misunderstandings that lead to false accusations and many others are the causes of quarells. But at the end of the day, we look back to the love of the family that originated from our late father. He taught us to love each other despite our imperfections. We talked about things in a respectful way. If my brother or sister was doing the talking, we tried to listen and understand and give our sides and views of our topic. We always tried to solve any problems at home, talking in a low tone, not outside the house or on the street. Then we apologize to each other and give our forgiveness. I also encourage them to always have a prayer for the family. I am the only one who is active in the church. It is very challenging, but I know that God is with me, guiding me and accompanying me all the way.
