"Unresolved hurt and anger can drain our energy, but healthy engagement with conflict generates energy, sparks connection, and reminds us that we do like our partner and the life we are building together for our family."
The authors argue (see what I did there) that "the goal of conflict is to build connection and repair by resolving the conflict." Their book includes a list of common arguments that parenting partners may have and sample scripts for turning those arguments into opportunities to reconnect and gain a deeper understanding. Surprisingly, there was a lot of withering and after reading this, I still don't know if I ever want to be a parent. Really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to people who are dealing with issues like this.
5 stars for providing realistic, easy-to-read and not-costly solutions for these problems.
