Hey there, it's Todd Creager, and I'm excited to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and crucial for healthy Relationships: conflict avoidance in marriage. In this episode, we're going to explore how our childhood experiences shape the way we handle (or avoid) conflict in our adult relationships.

Here's what you can expect from this eye-opening discussion:

• Discover why conflict avoidance is at the root of many relationship issues, from low sexual desire to infidelity
• Uncover how your family's approach to emotions and conflict might be influencing your current relationship dynamics
• Learn practical strategies to recognize and overcome conflict avoidance, leading to a more robust and fulfilling partnership
• Gain insights on how to create a “higher level harmony” in your relationship, based on emotional strength rather than fear and suppression

I'll share personal anecdotes from my years of couples Therapy and provide you with actionable steps to start facing conflict head-on. Remember, the goal isn't to create conflict, but to handle it maturely when it inevitably arises.

If you're ready to transform your relationship and make the world a little safer for love, this episode is for you.
