Course Description

Conflict is an inevitable part of life.  Anything involving two or more people will naturally result in a difference of opinion at some point, because we are all different and unique. Knowing there is going to be conflict somewhere along the way, the wise thing to do is to prepare for it.  This involves preparing mentally and developing strategies that will serve us so that we come out stronger as a couple afterwards. 

In this session we will show you HOW TO :

  • Agree “Ground Rules for Fighting” ahead of time
  • Create and rehearse your own Anger Management Strategy
  • “Fight Fair” when conflicts arise
  • Listen well and hear the real issue
  • Develop an “Us” centred approach to resolving conflict 
  • Forgive and Restore the connection after battle so the relationship is unharmed and even stronger.


By being proactive in developing the skills and strategies to manage conflict effectively, you can diffuse any negative emotional impact of conflict, stay focused on the issue, gain greater mutual understanding and strengthen the relationship through the process.  Conflict is going to happen.  This course will help you be prepared and use it to your advantage.

The 4 Habits are a culmination of their work in relationship education over 25+ years, drawing from principles in psychology, management theory and scientific research. Initially alongside their professional city careers, and now as their full time mission, they help people change their behaviours from habits that damage relationships to habits that strengthen them, on purpose.

The whole course is so relevant because conflict just happens in life and affects everybody. Managing it effectively is the crux of the matter for me and even though I am currently single I have learned a lot from the course and the exercises. I also have a lot to think about, but have the opportunity to rehearse responses and from now on reflect on what triggers my anger. Thank you so much Andrea and Jonathan!
