Habits for Your Happily Ever After

Winning the Fight, Losing the Love: Why Being Right Might Be the Wrong Goal in Your Relationship


Listen Later

When you "win" an argument, your relationship loses. We all do it. We all want to be "right" and we want to prove our partner "wrong."

I loved this discussion. It's filled with all the rotten things we're tempted to say to our partner, and why all those jabs get in the way of what we really want: intimacy and a feeling of safety.

Learn how to use nonviolent communication and protect your relationship.

Learn:

  1. How to protect your relationship with a couple bubble
  2. The difference between the violent communication you're tempted to use and the nonviolent words that connect you to your partner
  3. Why an internal conversation with yourself sets you up to be kinder to your partner

I've invited Dawn Larson and James Buchanan of Take Flight Therapy to help identify key components to healthy communication. These steps will tame the war in your relationship so you can promote peace-filled conversations that create safety.
