OYF103: Fight The Problem – Not Each Other!




The Marriage Podcast for Smart People show

Summary: There are really two core issues at play when I look at conflict: fighting styles and goals.<br> <br> Fighting styles are significant because they have a significant impact on the likelihood of a positive outcome. In this episode, I discuss the four styles with Verlynda and talk about the good, the bad and the ugly!<br> <br> Goals are another key piece that couples rarely discuss. And yet it’s our goals — dissimilar or otherwise - that underly the ongoing issues couples fight about. So when we get the goals out in the open and clarified, that’s one way to move towards fighting together rather than against each other.
