When conflict arises in your marriage, the words you choose can either help or hurt your relationship. In this episode of Better Husband, I explore the crucial question you must ask yourself during conflicts: Is what I'm about to say going to help or hurt my marriage? I'll share a simple four-step framework, CALM (Clarify, Acknowledge, Look, Manage), designed to help you handle conflicts in a way that strengthens your relationship. Using real-life examples, including my own experiences, I'll demonstrate how to communicate clearly, empathize with your partner, focus on what’s best for the marriage, and manage outcomes without resentment.
