Abstract: This paper aims to estimate gender differences in coping with couple relationships problems and studying its relation with violence in this context. A cross-sectional ex post facto study was carried out. The Scale of Conflict Management Strategies and Couple violence questionnaire were administered to a non-probability Mexican sample of 223 women and 177 men with heterosexual couples (51.5% of participants were dating relationships, 47.5% were married and 1% lived with a partner). Scale strategies for conflict management and violence in couple relationships questionnaire was applied. It was observed an active aggressor pattern, where the person is unable to modify his/her position and adopts evasive strategies before the conflict and seems to be fit. But finally violence appears against the couple, who reacts with violence the more passivenesses the aggressor showed during the conflict. This model is valid for both genders, though it has more explanatory power in men. Some suggestions to conduct the therapy were made.
