In this chapter, they discuss how they handle arguments in their relationship, especially in front of their kids. They emphasize the importance of resolving conflicts and apologizing to each other.

Leaf emphasizes parents' relationship patterns, resolved or not, enormously impact kids' future bonds. She advocates organized, structured communication so families acknowledge clashes, align on resolutions and model managing tensions.
