A short advice video by Jacqueline Elliott about how couples should approach conflict: healthy couples fight to reach resolution and mutual growth, not to prove who is right. The speaker contrasts resolution-focused arguments with victory-focused fights and offers practical guidance (speak honestly, consider impact, aim to resolve rather than ‘win’).

Healthy couples fight for resolution. If you're going to fight with your significant other, you have to know that there's going to be a resolution behind it. It's not about proving yourself right. It's not about having the last word. It's not about making your statement. It's about growing and really getting your feelings out there for the other person to understand you and know that you're going to resolve something in the end. So unhealthy couples fight for personal victory. Yes, I won. And that is a hide that you get that lasts about 45 second and then you feel like shit. So when you fight and you say certain things, make sure that you're saying what you need to stay and make sure that it's for resolution. But don't hold back. But think about what you're going to say and say, hey, is this going to hurt the other person or is this going to help them grow? If you are married or if you have a significant other, or even if you're single, write this down for when you do. If someone wins, no one wins. If someone.
