In today’s episode, Allyson & Amber are talking about conflicts we’ve faced in our personal relationships and how we deal with it to keep our relationship healthy. 

 

The book we mention in this episode is called:

Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love by John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman  

 

Questions to ask yourself/ your partner when it comes to conflict (coming straight for the Eight Dates book):

1. What is the story of how this issue is important to you?

2. Is there a story behind this issue related to your own personal history or your family growing up?

3. Is there a deeper purpose or goal for you in your position on this issue?

4. How was conflict handed in your family growing up?

5. How do you feel about anger? How was it expressed in your family growing up?

6. How can I best support you when you’re feeling angry?

7. How do you like to make up after a disagreement?

8. What do you now understand about your partner that you didn’t before this exercise?
