Healthy marriage conflict with the Freemans: Should you argue in front of your kids?

This week on the podcast, I interviewed Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman. They have an amazing book, “The Argument Hangover” where they talk about this concept of the argument hangover and how to cure it faster in your marriage.

You know that feeling, right after an argument you've had with your partner? You feel kinda sick to your stomach, your head is buzzing, and you're zoned out. You regret what you said (or how you said it), and you feel hurt by their actions as well. Almost like a food or alcohol hangover, right? Aaron & Jocelyn Freeman, your new favorite relationship experts, call this the "Argument Hangover".

Using conscious communication and healthy conflict resolution skills you can make sure both you and your partner are understood.

COMMUNICATE LIKE PROS,

FIGHT SMARTER AND

HANDLE ANY CHALLENGE AS A TEAM!

In the podcast we cover:

  • What does healthy conflict look like?

  • Should you argue in front of your kids?

  • How to demonstrate to your kids what reconciliation looks like

  • Outdated beliefs about conflict, like “happy wife happy life”
