Fighting and emotional upset is just part of the program in a committed relationship over many years. But what separates the smart couple from people who really struggle is being able to repair well. In this episode, my wife Ellen Boeder covers why “the repair” is so critical in a strong partnership. It’s essential as a parent, so why would it be any different with your partner. Listen in to get a few tips on how to do this fundamental skill and learn from Ellen and me as we share from our own marriage.

Here are a few of the highlights:

    My partner and I have used quotes from our favourite movies and stand up as anchors and it makes an enormous difference. Referencing a quote we both like, such as “So later with the talking then?” or “Mitchell, this ain’t gonna be good!” not only changes the frequency, it makes communication less pointing fingers and more about recognizing that we aim to respect our differences and accept each other as we are.
    Not to mention it always helps us feel more connected in truly important ways when we disagree-inside jokes/code phrases can create much needed intimacy when sparks could be flying.

    You two rock, thank you both for being your awesome selves and generously sharing your wisdom and honesty.

    Jason and Ellen, I wish I would have learned this long ago. Thank you so much for sharing your life, your intimate relationship challenges. I have experienced conflict etc. again and again and walking away because I just didn’t have the tools. Thank you! I am learning a lot! This class is sooo needed for couples who want to have healthy relationships.
