The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse:

Criticism, Defensiveness, Contempt, Stonewalling

 

How to Fight:

Calm down by self soothing

Compromise

Repair- words, jokes, gestures

Apologize

Explain what was difficult

Ask for forgiveness

Listen

Process and understand fights

Fight fair

Ask for help- communicate

Ask for what you DO NEED
