Too many couples get stuck in a cycle of conflict not because they disagree—but because one or both partners need to be right. It’s a subtle but powerful force that turns small conversations into a court room debate, where the goal becomes winning instead of understanding.

It's not always easy, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
