The LOVE Talk wrap-up show

conflict resolution love talk series Mar 20, 2018

Over the last 6 shows you’ve learned the core skill taught in every one of our Smalley Marriage Intensives, Love Talk, by far the most powerful way to communicate with someone where feelings and needs can get expressed in a way that leads you naturally into win/win solutions.

Today we’re going to give you the top 4 lessons learned in these Love Talk episodes. If you can remember these 4 things, you will be able to resolve conflict with anyone at any time.

  • You need structure when it comes to resolving conflict
  • Listen, Own, Validate, and Express
  • Take a time-out before it gets too heated
  • Be a great listener, which means validating well
  • Only settle for win/win solutions
