Wondering how you can improve conflict resolution in your marriage? 

Listen, no marriage is perfect. Everyone has conflict. It’s inevitable, and it’s not a bad sign. What matters when it comes to conflict is how you repair the conflict. 

In this episode of Couch Time, I’m sharing the six rules of conflict resolution in your marriage that your therapist wishes you knew. 

We’re going to talk about hearing and agreeing, resisting the two bad words, taking a break, committing to repair, taking influence in your marriage, and so much more. 

Taking these tips and using them in your marriage will drastically improve the way you view and handle conflict so I am excited to share them with you today.
