0:00.0	Welcome guys and gals to the man talk show. I'm Connor Beaton and today we're going to talk about how
0:04.8	to win an argument with your partner. Now I know this is a little bit of an interesting topic,
0:10.4	but stick with me because this is a very, very, very important lesson and it might not be what
0:16.7	you think it is. So how do you win an argument with your partner? So first and foremost, what I want you to know is I have been no different than anybody else out there. In fact, I was
0:26.4	probably notorious for this, is that I spent years, maybe decades, trying to figure out how I
0:32.7	win arguments, how to best win arguments in my relationship. And what I started to notice,
0:38.7	what I started to notice when I really started to look at how I was being in those arguments
0:42.5	was that me trying to win those arguments, me winning those arguments was costing me,

0:53.3	relationships usually comes at a zero-sum game.

1:17.8	confrontation. We actually need to learn a little bit more effectively how to do conflict and
1:24.0	confrontation in our lives. But as men, when we grow up, we find ourselves in so many different situations having to learn
1:32.6	how to defend ourselves, having to learn how to protect ourselves.
1:36.2	The challenge comes when there is dysfunctional protection, when there is dysfunctional defending.
1:43.3	So if you've grown up like so many men have in dysfunctional
1:47.7	homes where, you know, maybe you were abused or you were abandoned or you grew up in a household
1:54.3	where you didn't see conflict at all. That's another one that I see all the time. Conflict was
1:58.5	completely out of sight. You never saw your parents argue.
