Abstract

Negotiation is the continuous coordination of the two sides’ joint efforts to expand the interests of both parties. In terms of the relationships between couples or partners, negotiation can be viewed as a special form of communication that aims to achieve a win-win situation in which both sides can feel satisfied, and thereby the quality of the relationship can be greatly improved. This study, through a review of the pertinent strategic negotiation theories, proposes that the romantic relationship between couples can be constructed by adopting active listening techniques and interest-based bargaining principles. As a result, this review article would theoretically discuss how strategic negotiation strategies can shed lights on couples’ communication and practically put forward an array of suggestions for couples to construct a long-term healthy intimate relationship.
