The April 30 - May 1 holiday is an occasion for families to rest, relax and bond. However, for many couples, this is also a time when conflicts easily arise due to differences in wishes and planning.
Ms. Phuong Lien (Hanoi) said that conflicts during the holidays are inevitable because each person has a different point of view and a different need.
"My husband and I also have some loud times because we disagree during the holidays. However, as long as we both sit down and talk and share frankly, everything can be resolved," said Ms. Phuong Lien.
The family of Ms. Dinh Hong Anh (Hai Phong) also had a time when each person had a different opinion when arranging their schedule.
"I want to go home to visit my parents' house, but my husband prioritizes traveling during the 5 days off. No one is wrong, but if we do not negotiate from the beginning, we can easily lose the fun of the whole holiday, said Ms. Hong Anh.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Hoa Binh - Socialist, when couples have more vacation opportunities, it also means there are more controversies arising - from where to go, what to do, which side of the family to spend time with, to how to rest is "reasonable".
However, experts say that these conflicts mostly come from the desire to improve the quality of life and the need to enjoy and care for each other more.
It is important that each family should calculate, prepare a plan early and take time to sit down and discuss frankly, together finding a harmonious and optimal solution for both sides, the expert emphasized.
Each person should know how to lower their ego a little, listen more and put themselves in the position of the other person. When both of them aim for the common goal of enjoying a happy and warm vacation, the differences can be completely harmonized, the expert shared.
