Tired of fighting with your husband/wife?

Hello, Happy Human! 👋

We're here with our weekly 3 things...

1️⃣ A question from our community

2️⃣ Our actionable tips

3️⃣ A resource from our toolkit

1. The question

“Me and my husband can’t seem to have even a simple conversation without it turning into a fight. How do you two do it? How do you stop turning everything into an argument?”

2. Our answer

We feel this BIG time because we’ve been there.

And yeah… so many couples fall into this pattern. Long story short, it’s because their nervous systems misinterpret their partner’s feedback as danger.

For example, your husband or wife says, “I’m so overwhelmed…” but your brain hears, “You’re not doing enough.”

And before you know it, you snap back, defend yourself, or even shut down.

And it makes sense. Your body is wired to protect you from threats. 

But the problem is that your nervous system can’t tell the difference between a bear coming at you and your partner’s tired sigh.

So try this simple 3-step approach the next time your partner brings up something hard:

1️⃣ Acknowledge their feelings by reflecting back what they shared.

👉 “I hear you… you’re feeling overwhelmed.”

2️⃣ Validate the feeling to show them that you get it.

👉 “That makes sense with everything you’ve been juggling.”

3️⃣ Invite them to share more so you don’t close the door on their feelings.

👉 “Can you tell me more?”

The key is…

You’re not fixing, defending, or making it about YOU. 

You’re just holding space like an emotionally intelligent badass.

Because once your partner feels heard, the tension will start to melt away, and any sense of fight will just fizzle.

Trust us… it takes LOTS of practice to communicate this way, but every time you try, you’re strengthening the part of you that’ll keep you both feeling connected, loved, and not so alone.

And if you’re ready for the deep dive so you can stop the fighting, get on the same page, and start showing up as the team that your family needs…
