Every relationship, at some point, is going to have conflict. How well we deal with the dispute and make repairs can significantly influence the relationship and its longevity.
When we are in conflict it is only natural that we will make mistakes, say things we regret, or with the wrong tone of voice. We can learn to correct these mistakes in the moment and get the discussion back on track. It might take a bit of vulnerability to say, “I said that in the wrong tone, can I repeat it how I meant it to sound?” or “I’m feeling overwhelmed, and I need your help right now”.
