## Resource

Conflict isn’t the problem in relationships — it’s the hurt we cause and the lack of repair that slowly breaks them. In this first episode of our 3-part Repair Mini-Series, we’re breaking down why repair is the most important skill every couple needs. You’ll learn: Why avoiding conflict actually makes relationships more fragile How healthy couples actually have more conflict (and why that’s a good thing) The natural rhythm of all relationships: harmony, disharmony, and repair The powerful lesson from Ed Tronick’s Still Face Experiment Four game-changing beliefs that will shift how you see conflict forever Why repair starts with YOU (even when your partner is dysregulated) Featuring insights from Dr. John Gottman and Ed Tronick, this episode will completely reframe the way you think about arguments in your relationship. If you’ve ever wondered why some couples bounce back from conflict stronger while others slowly drift apart, this episode is for you. 🔥 Next week: Repair Attempts – How to do them well 🔥 Week after: Meaningful Apologies & Forgiveness If this resonated with you, please leave a 5-star review, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.
