Why Couples Fight: From Breadwinning to Boundaries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every couple has disagreements, but the real issue isn't money, chores, or snooping. Underneath it all is one core question: do we share the same values?
In this episode, we break down the most common relationship struggles. From household roles and money dynamics to privacy vs. trust, they all tie back to values. Using tools like the Gottmans’ “Love Maps,” we explore how couples can stay curious about each other, navigate differences, and figure out what’s a solvable conflict vs. what’s a non-negotiable.
If you’ve ever wondered, “is this a deal-breaker, or just something we can work through?”…this episode is for you.
