Repairing Conflict in Your Relationship with Kelly Gardner
February 27, 2024
Conflict is going to happen in a healthy relationship. And more often than not, conflict starts with something laughably small – from doing dishes, to making food, and even how to decoratively light a podcast. But underneath the menial cause of conflict always lies a much deeper need that isn’t being met.
I’m joined on this episode by my partner, Kelly Gardner, a Relationship Coach and Men’s Group Facilitator, and as you’ll hear, we couldn’t even record this podcast without a small conflict of our own. Yes, it was something super small (how to decoratively light this episode for video) which we playfully recount, but then take you through our thorough resolution and beautiful potential of the conflict repair process.
Kelly and I also have spots open now for 2-on-2 Couples Coaching (apply here). These sessions are focused on breaking down walls, solidifying your relationship foundation, improving your sex life and designing the most supportive, fulfilling and loving relationship.
In this episode, Kelly and I talk about:
- Why conflict is so often over small things
- One partner taking leadership on certain things in a relationship
- Compassionate communication
- Assuming positive intent in others
- Trusting your partner through conflict
- Expressing your needs and asking for your needs to be met
- How to fully resolve a conflict in a relationship
- The repair process of conflict
- Discovering breakthroughs through conflict
- The essential elements of repairing conflict in a relationship
- How conflict is an opportunity to deepen your relationship
Also, my new book is officially out! It’s called “You Grow Me: The Next Level Human Philosophy of Love, Sex and Romantic Connection” co-written by Dr. Jade Teta (Next Level Human podcast). It’s a big “f**k you” to unrealistic Hollywood love stories, and instead offers a fresh perspective on how personal growth is intertwined with romance. You can buy your copy of You Grow Me on Amazon here. Would love to know what you think! Email me or DM me on Instagram (contacts below).
