Don't try to Control the other person, control the environment and yourself
In toxic arguments, the root cause is often the attempt to control the other person, leading to a negative dynamic. Rather than trying to control each other, it is beneficial to focus on controlling the environment, oneself, and the boundaries of the conversation. By jointly managing the environment, such as discussing issues when both parties are calm, controlling individual reactions by reflecting before responding, and setting clear boundaries for the discussion to prevent escalating conflicts, couples can navigate disagreements more effectively.
