You just had a “fight” with your loved one and now you want to heal that rupture…
Repair is key to relationship success
No matter how careful you are, you will inevitably rupture the bond in your relationship. Even in a good marriage, couples:
Have ugly screaming matches
Say mean things to each other
Get critical and defensive
Engage in stonewalling
They do all the same things unhealthy couples do, but at some point they have a conversation where they recover from it. The difference between the Masters and the Disasters of relationships is the Masters repair their interactions effectively.
These couples are willing to admit responsibility for their part in the conflict so they can begin the process of healing their bond. They realize their relationship is more important than the problem.
The goal of repair is to understand what went wrong, and how to make your next conversation more constructive.
