A short YouTube monologue (by Jacqueline Elliott) about conflict in romantic relationships: Speaker A argues that couples should fight for resolution, not for personal victory. Seeking to 'win' an argument produces only a fleeting feeling of triumph and quickly leaves both partners feeling bad; true healthy conflict aims at resolution rather than proving who is right.

If someone wins? No one wins. You fight for resolution, not for personal victory. Healthy couples fight for resolution. Unhealthy couples fight for personal victory. What does that mean? I'm gonna win. I'm gonna prove my point. I'm the one that's going to be right at the end of the day. And then what happens? You might win. How long does that last? 30 seconds? Two minutes. And then you feel like shit, right? If someone wins, no one wins.
