It may surprise you to learn that happier couples do not argue less than unhappy couples. What distinguishes the two groups is that happy couples repair during and after a fight, whereas in unhappy relationships, partners tend to escalate negativity by using criticism, contempt, defensive or stonewalling behaviour.
Repairs are ways to tap the brakes and rein in conversations that are going negative. This work is based on the fabulous Relationship expert Dr John Gottman who maintains the ability of a couple to repair is the key to any relationship success.
We are all in some sort of relationship - whether it be friends, family, partner or work colleagues.
What helps you repair in a fight or conflict?
Come along to our Super Duper Topic and learn the ways of building healthy fun relationships... rather than losing trust and faith in other people, and ourselves!
We need to feel like we are relating with people who like us and this includes dealing with conflicts.
