I Can't Take It Anymore! | How to Argue Without Destroying Your Marriage
Saturday, 21 February, 2026
You love each other — but why does every argument feel like a battle? In this episode, we break down why couples fight the way they do and what to do about it.We explore the two conflict personalities that exist in every relationship — The Processor (needs to talk it out) and The Regulator (needs space to think) — and why understanding which one you and your spouse are changes everything. We dig into John Gottman's 4 Horsemen that predict relationship breakdown: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. And we get honest about our own conflict styles and what we had to learn early in our marriage — starting with something as simple as washing dishes.We also walk you through two practical tools you can start using today: The Timeout Agreement (a structured pause with built-in accountability) and The Translation Method (reframing what your partner is really saying to de-escalate fast).If your arguments keep going in circles, if silence lasts for days, or if you're feeling emotionally unsafe to speak — this episode is for you.Take our Couples Survey — link in the show notes. Marriage Webinar coming soon — stay connected for details.We're Carlene + Jaime, your mentors for the messy middle.
