One shouts, the other walks away. Sound familiar?
The more one speaks, the louder the silence from the other. Sometimes both remain silent, defeated, while the silence between them builds a wall that grows higher and higher. Other times, two voices shout so loudly that words strike like lightning bolts, without truly achieving anything. These are the painful realities of conflict that many couples know - a dance of misunderstandings and heartache. But what if you could learn the art of resolving these conflicts in a healthy way?

Questions couples often ask
How do we stop having the same argument over and over?
A repeating argument is usually not about its subject. It keeps returning because underneath it each of you is protecting something that hasn't been heard. This course works on that layer - recognising how each of you moves when conflict starts, and learning to say what's underneath without triggering the other.
