Every couple argues—but what really matters is what happens after. In this episode, we explore the power of repair rituals: those small, intentional gestures that help you reconnect after a fight. Whether it’s a hug, a note, or a shared laugh, these rituals create emotional safety and prevent lingering disconnection.

You’ll learn:

• Why lack of repair—not conflict—is what truly damages relationships
• Examples of verbal, physical, and action-based repair rituals
• How to create your own “come back together” moment after tension

This episode is packed with practical, real-life tools for couples who want to stop getting stuck in emotional limbo after arguments. Because the truth is: fighting isn’t the enemy—disconnection is.

If you’ve ever felt unsure how to move forward after a disagreement, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a place to start.
