Are you willing to have conflict when you don&#39;t see eye to eye, when you have a disagreement, when you have a values conflict, when you&#39;re not sure who should be doing the dishes and who should be balancing a checkbook, whatever it is, are you actually willing to go toe to toe as equals with the other people in your life?
