Most couples think fighting is a sign something’s wrong. But what if conflict is actually a doorway to deeper connection—when done well?
In this short, powerful episode, Mike and Courtney guide you through how to move from reactivity to ritual by creating simple agreements that transform fights into opportunities for intimacy and growth.
They share their top three agreements every couple should have, how to interrupt recurring conflict patterns, and why ritualizing repair builds safety, tone, and resilience in your nervous system.

Why couples repeat the same fights (and how to break the cycle)
The 3 essential agreements every couple needs:
The Sacred Pause
“I” Statements
No Bond Threats
How to create rituals of connection in conflict
Why physical touch during disagreements builds safety
