When arguments spiral into emotional chaos, most couples default to blame, defensiveness… or makeup sex with no resolution. But if you’re serious about leading your relationship with clarity and strength, you need a system. In this episode, Stephanie breaks down a 3-step framework that turns every conflict into a deeper connection.

✅ Clarify Emotions Without Interruption: You both get uninterrupted time to express how you feel and why: no sarcasm, no defensiveness, just real listening.

✅ Ask for What You Need, Now: Learn how to identify and request what will resolve the tension, not what fuels more of it.

✅ Create a Plan for the Next Time: When you treat conflict resolution like a team strategy (not a power struggle), you prevent repeat fights and build real trust.

This isn’t about avoiding emotion; it’s about channeling it with discipline. Because of masculine composure under pressure? That’s a skill.
