5 Steps to End an Ugly Fight
-First, know when to leave well enough alone. One of the worst things you can do when the situation is volatile is stoke the fire.
-Second, step back to examine the problems. We don’t reason well when we are too close to the problem.
-Third, quickly own your part in the problems. Having reflected on the problem, focus on your part in the problems. There is little value in focusing on what your mate has done wrong.
-Fourth, listen to your mate for where/how they are wounded. Every fight is an opportunity to bring healing to your mate.
-Finally, agree to grow from the problems going forward. Every emotional meltdown is an opportunity to step back, analyze what is happening, own your part and agree to do better next time.
