The Art of the Repair

Dr. John Gottman says the difference between happy and unhappy couples isn't that happy couples don't fight. It's that they repair quickly.

A repair attempt is anything that de-escalates the tension.

A joke.
A touch.
"I'm sorry, let me try that again."
"I feel like we are getting off track."

Goal: Catch the slide before it becomes a crash. Make a repair attempt today.

Bonus: This works well if you have kids too. Repair with them as needed AND repair with your spouse in front of your kids. This models great conflict resolution.
