All couples argue, but how do some couples get to what seems like the
point of no return?
Licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Tara Fields has spent more
than twenty-eight years working with couples, and she has discovered
that there are five common conflict loops that couples fall into--and
three steps to getting past having the same fights over and over again
and onward to building a relationship where each partner feels heard,
understood, respected, and loved. These steps include:
- Recognizing the conflict loop at play
- Exploring past and present fears
- Creating opportunities to get in touch with the deepest needs of both
partners in order to find new gratitude, respect, and trust
Change comes with awareness. When you're present in the moment, conflict
with your partner can become an opportunity to work through unresolved
issues and to learn more about each other; it can even become a way to
grow closer. In The Love Fix, Fields shares her tested and proven
tools to help build stronger relationships, including:
- Insight from real couples who have repaired their relationships
- Self-assessment quizzes to get to the root of the problem
- Practical 3-Minute Fixes you can start using immediately
- HEARTwork exercises to help you dig deeper in order to reconnect
It's never too late to reignite your passion and to restore the love
between you and your partner. Stop rehashing the same issues, figure out
what you're really fighting about, and start enjoying a happier,
stronger relationship today.
