Conflicts are often not fully resolved, requiring negotiation or workarounds. It is unrealistic to expect that understanding and talking will lead to complete agreement. The key is to acknowledge and accept differences, including ADHD symptoms. Couples should aim for optimal management of ADHD and accept the rest. Workarounds that may not be perfect but work well enough are effective. Repair behaviors are important. The three types of personal intimacy in the Relationship Institute's model are self intimacy, conflict intimacy, and affection intimacy. Conflict intimacy involves recognizing each other's individuality and discussing differences in a respectful way. It leads to affection intimacy and improves communication between couples.
