This episode reveals the truth about fighting, why fighting can be positive, and how to take the dirt out of fighting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conflict can actually be a valuable opportunity for personal growth, and for the growth of the relationship.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Fair fighting forces&nbsp; you to confront relationship challenges head-on instead of bottling them up and having them eventually boil over.\n<\/li>\n<li>Conscious fighting can allow for self-exploration about personal boundaries, what makes us hurt or feel neglected by our significant other as well as what makes them feel offended or ignored.\n<\/li>\n<li>Fair fighting is an opportunity to increase intimacy by gaining a better understanding of each other&rsquo;s wants and needs, and developing valuable communication skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The podcast addresses boundaries as one of the main reasons people fight. It&rsquo;s rare that a couple will discuss boundaries before they are violated and before feelings are hurt. As co-host Dedeker Winston says, &ldquo;Sometimes we don&#8217;t know our own boundaries or we don&#8217;t know our partner&#8217;s boundaries until we bump up against them in some way. That&#8217;s not necessarily anyone&#8217;s fault&#8230; I see it as when you&#8217;re playing a video game and you unlock a portion of the map that was all cloudy and foggy but now it&#8217;s unlocked. Now you know where you&#8217;re navigating and where you&#8217;re going.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the benefits of fighting are all predicated on<em> fair <\/em>fighting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When couples fight dirty, their fights are not specific. They are vague and general, and focused on blame (&ldquo;you always&hellip;you never&#8230;&rdquo;). The fight may escalate into an all-encompassing battle about multiple entwined and often exaggerated topics. Often, the past is dragged up, including forgiven or resolved issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dirty fights rarely happen at a time when the fight will be most productive. They often occur when one partner is tired or busy and may even include a public &ldquo;ambush.&rdquo; Dirty fights tend to escalate as one or both participants become more and more aggressive. There may be yelling and screaming, shaming, blaming, personal attacks on the partner&rsquo;s weaknesses and insecurities, physical outbursts like throwing things or punching walls, and physical violence or threats of violence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, dirty fighting isn&rsquo;t always what we consider a &ldquo;fight.&rdquo; Dirty fighting can take a passive-aggressive tone with one partner ignoring or procrastinating bringing up problems, refusing to discuss issues and take personal responsibility, avoiding sharing feelings, giving the silent treatment, withdrawing, and checking out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Done right, though, a fight can breathe new life into a relationship. It is, as Dedeker says, &ldquo;about coming up against conflict and disagreement and finding a way for it to be both mindful and compassionate and as fair as possible.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A clean fight is clear and focused. The fight centers on one issue. Both partners stick to the truth and avoid exaggeration or generalization. Each partner speaks for him\/herself, gives the other a chance to speak, and the fight is focused on the present issue and does not drag up the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fair fight is conducted in private when no one is hungry, angry, lonely, tired, or drunk. It is not a series of attacks and reactions but rather an empowering journey of communication focused on creating a win-win resolution and moving forward with an even tighter bond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of all, fair fighting is compassionate. It is respectful of each partner&rsquo;s emotional state and who they are as a person; it uses respectful and compassionate language, and both partners strive to build each other up instead of tearing each other down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This podcast can be a relationship-changer for anyone who has been, knowingly or not, fighting dirty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hosts give practical advice on how to fight clean and how to use fighting as a tool for bringing a couple closer.
