Want to fight better? Do these 4 things.

Most of us spend years training for our careers, but few receive guidance on how to handle conflict in relationships. Fighting well is not instinctive—it’s a skill that requires practice, compassion, and care. By using “I statements,” speaking your truth with kindness, taking breaks when tensions rise, and prioritizing repair and reconnection, couples can transform conflict into an opportunity for deeper understanding. Learning how to fight with love instead of blame builds stronger, healthier, and more resilient relationships.
