Why You Keep Having the Same Fight (And How to Stop It)

Do you keep having the same fight over and over in your marriage? You argue, things blow up, you apologize, life settles down—and then one small thing happens and suddenly you're right back in the same conflict. Recurring arguments in marriage are a lot like stubborn weeds. You can pull off everything you see above the ground, but if you don't get to the root, the weed eventually grows back. After more than 30 years of working with couples, I've found that recurring marriage conflict often has one—or more—of three roots underneath it: 🌱 *An unmet need that was never really named* 🌱 *A wound that never fully healed* 🌱 *A relationship pattern that was never interrupted* In this video, I'll help you look beneath the surface of the arguments about money, parenting, household responsibilities, sex, communication, in-laws, or someone's tone of voice and begin asking a much more important question: What's actually growing underneath this fight? Because apologies, promises, and a few peaceful weeks may temporarily cut down the weed. But lasting change happens when you identify the root system that's keeping the same conflict alive. If you're tired of having the same argument and wondering why nothing ever seems to change, this video will help you start digging beneath the conflict and understand what's really keeping your marriage stuck. ❤️ *FREE — THREE CONVERSATIONS THAT SAVE A MARRIAGE* If you want to start changing the way you and your spouse talk about what's really happening underneath your conflict, start here.
