(My thoughts - I believe in a way, this is true for relationships as well. Obstacles can strengthen the relationship and bring two people even closer. The key is in how we respond to each other.

The ability to communicate how we feel and see the situation and also the ability to see from the other person's point of view is important in helping to resolve conflicts.)
