问题     Because conflict and disagreements are parts of all close relationships, couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just avoid and deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship. However, denying the existence of conflict results in couples failing to solve their problems at early stages, which can then lead to even greater problems later on. Not surprisingly, expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital(婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning. However, this pattern of behavior predicts increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.
    So, what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships?
    First, try to understand the other person’ s point of view and put yourself in his or her place. People who are sensitive to what their partner thinks and feels experience greater relationship satisfaction. For example, researchers found that among people in dating relationships as well as marriages, those who can adopt their partner’ s perspective show more positive emotions, more relationship-enhancing attributes and more constructive responses to conflict.
    Second, because conflict and disagreements are an inevitable part of close relationships. People need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and receive forgiveness from their parents for their own acts. Apologies minimize conflict, lead to forgiveness, and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line with this view, spouses who are more forgiving show higher mental quality over time. Increasingly, apologizing can even have positive health benefits. For example, when people reflect on hurtful memories and grudges, they show negative physiological effects, including increased heart rate and blood pressure, compared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-taking and forgiving.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、Expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital satisfaction at any time.
B、People who are sensitive to what their partner thinks and feels experience lower relationship satisfaction.
