In this episode of The Spice of Wife Podcast, we dive into the truth about fighting in marriage — not all conflict is bad, but how we fight matters. I share a real, raw story of a couple on the brink and breaks down what made their fights destructive vs. what ultimately helped them reconnect. Learn why avoiding fights can be more dangerous than having them, how to tell when you're in a "high emotion, low logic" state, and what it means to fight fair with love, regulation, and self-awareness.
