Ep 45: Repairing After Conflict
I recently polled my instagram followers on whether they repaired after an argument or just moved on with or without an apology from either side. 76% of the votes said they just moved on. The reason this is concerning is that the repair is the most important part of the argument and it's missing in the majority of marriages. So what is repairing and why is it important? Repairing is fostering the connection between you and your partner after the argument so there is less negativity, resentment and lingering feelings or unmet expectations. Every t...
