Conflict Isn't the Problem, Part 3
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Conflict in relationships isn’t necessarily a sign something is broken—but avoiding it or trying to win often is.
In this episode, we explore why conflict itself isn’t the real issue in relationships, and how couples get stuck in unhealthy patterns of conflict avoidance or conflict domination. You’ll learn why “keeping the peace” can quietly erode intimacy, why power struggles damage trust, and how healthy conflict can actually strengthen emotional connection.
This episode covers:
- Common relationship conflict patterns couples fall into
- Why avoiding conflict leads to emotional distance
- What it means to fight fair in a healthy relationship
- Practical communication skills couples can use right away
And we introduce a new segment: The Grown Up Move!
