Relationship repair predicts whether a couple lasts even more than how often they fight. This episode closes out the five week Being Heard series with the research on repair attempts, why accepting the reach matters more than making one, and what actually gets in the way for men rebuilding after loss and starting to trust someone new. Ron walks through why pride convinces people that softening first means losing, what a real repair attempt looks like when you're on the receiving end, and why the relationship is decided in what happens after the fight, not the fight itself.
