    We Need To Talk About... Fight Languages

    We Need To Talk About... Fight Languages

    We Need To Talk About... Fight Languages

    The way you fight, or really, argue, is what’s going to determine whether or not your relationship will work. Anybody can get along when you’re both in a good mood and life is going swimmingly and there are no pressing decisions to be made. Challenges either make or break relationships, and that’s not a coincidence, because it’s then that you see what you really need to know about a person.

    In this episode Ari and Rod discuss the "fight languages" and how to move from least effective to optimal.
