Every time you disagree, it turns into a fight. Or you've gotten so afraid of the fight that you stop saying what you need at all. Either way, old hurts show up, you talk over each other, and you end up feeling more distant than when you started.
Most couples don't have an arguing problem. They have a fighting problem.
In this episode of Same Team with The Freemans, Jocelyn and Aaron break down the 5 differences between arguing and fighting, so you can tell which one you're in and get back on the same side. You'll learn how to keep today's issue from turning into a trial about the past, how to take turns so you both feel heard, how to ask a clarifying question before you assume, how to stay honest without getting hurtful or reactive, and how to measure an argument by whether you feel closer when it's over. You'll also hear a real story from our own marriage about a big decision where we disagreed and still stayed teammates.
