In this episode, hosts Sofia and Taylor Carver discuss the argument tool: OINK RACE. They also share the advice given by their couple's therapist about fighting fair. They introduce the concept of the Oink Race, which stands for One Problem, I Statements, No Blaming, and Keep it Short. They emphasize the importance of starting arguments with respect and understanding that fighting is not about winning or losing. The hosts provide real-life examples and demonstrate how the Oink Race can be used to address issues effectively and find solutions through reflection, asking questions, confirming, and empathizing. They encourage regular practice of this technique in order to improve communication and strengthen relationships.
