Conflict & Repair · Resource Guide No. 05
Conflict Resolution Guide
A field manual for couples who disagree without disconnecting. You do not have to win, you have to understand.
The four moves
The happiest couples are not the ones who avoid disagreements. They are the ones who have learned how to repair after them. This guide gives you the tools, the language, and the posture to do that well.
Soften the Start
The first thirty seconds predict the whole argument. Lead with what you feel, not what they did.
Listen to Understand
Not to rebut, not to fix, just to understand. Ask one more question than feels natural.
Name the Repair
Small gestures, a touch, a joke, a "let me try that again", stop conflict from becoming distance.
Return With Honour
Conflict ends, but the relationship continues. Come back better than you left.
