Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three options presented by Carlfred Broderick for dealing with contentious issues without provoking a power struggle are "resign the crown" (which means letting go of control or the need to win), "do it yourself" (which means taking responsibility for your own actions and not relying on your partner to change), and "make an offer your partner can't refuse" (which means finding a win-win solution that meets both people's needs). Avoiding being assertive is not one of Broderick's options, as assertiveness can be an important skill in resolving conflicts in a healthy way.
