Summary
The basis of a strong marriage is how well you handle 3 "stages" of interactions. These 3 stages are before, during and after conflicts. The before stage is all about communication and being able to prevent conflicts from even happening. The during conflict stage is about de-escalating tensions and potential conflicts. The after stage is about how you repair when conflicts to happen (because they will)
In this episode you will hear the tools you will need to master each of the 3 stages and putting them all together will make you feel unstoppable and confident that you can handle any challenge as a team.
This episode is our "audio version" of the webclass we just hosted. So be sure to watch the replay of the webclass while it's still available. You can find it here on our Top Resources Page.
There you can also find the BRAND NEW 'Level 2' 30-Day Couples Challenge that is all about repairing and rebuilding from a hard season. This is the advanced "Rebuilding Us Couples Challenge"!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Empower Couples podcast. |
| 0:03.2 | We're here you get modern, non-boring relationship advice for you and your partner to communicate like pros, quite smarter, and stay in the same team. |
| 0:11.2 | No matter the challenge that you face, I am one of your host, Erin Freeman. |
| 0:14.3 | And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freeman's. |
| 0:16.9 | And this episode is the three stages of conflict, communicate better, de-escalate conflicts, and repair faster after arguments. |
| 0:26.6 | We are jazzed up. Yes, jazzed up because we just wrapped up our web class, two couples from around the world. |
| 0:35.6 | And everyone ended, actually within 10 minutes people were writing |
| 0:39.4 | this is already so good and throughout it saying like mic drop and this was so valuable and that's |
| 0:45.4 | what we want this was a free web class by the way and so the episode today we're going to share |
| 0:51.2 | how we break down as Aaron said like the three stages of conflict before, |
| 0:56.2 | during, and after, and give you a couple of the key takeaways from the web class. |

| 1:12.9 | We are probably just going to have it available, maybe a week. So go to meet the freemans.com |
| 1:18.4 | slash links to go watch that replay. Everyone said it was extremely valuable. I think it's |
| 1:23.5 | absolutely worth an hour of your time for everything we cover. And it's an interesting way that we think about the stages, not necessarily seasons of a |
| 1:32.6 | relationship, but in your day-to-day interactions. It's important to us to think about this |
| 1:37.6 | in terms of before, during, and after conflict, which is a funny thing because you think, |
| 1:43.3 | well, I'm not having conflict all the |
