If you have siblings, you likely fought with them about anything and everything!

They were your first sparring partners. And, through them—and interactions with parents and friends, too—you developed your conflict style. (For more on conflict styles, check out part 1 of this series, ep. 220 of Love & Life.)

Elliott and I continue our discussion on conflict negotiations in romantic partnership by examining the influence of our temperament, birth order, and our family of origin’s (unwritten) rules regarding conflict resolution.

I ask Elliott to share examples from his over 30 years of counseling couples—which he does. But he also analyzes Dan and me!
