Is Conflict Really the Problem...or Is It Disconnection? Ep. 420
Episode 32
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026
Conflict is inevitable. Disconnection doesn't have to be.In Part 2 of this conversation, Karin and Elliott continue developing a new framework for understanding conflict—not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity to build deeper intimacy. Together they workshop what Elliott calls the "relationship triangle," exploring how healthy conflict can lead to greater comfort and connection, while unresolved conflict often pulls couples into criticism, contempt, and emotional distance.They discuss why emotionally healthy relationships aren't defined by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to repair, reconnect, and move toward one another with courage and humility.Whether you're married, dating, or simply hoping to build healthier relationships, this conversation offers practical tools for recognizing unhealthy patterns, understanding where they come from, and learning how to return to connection when conflict inevitably arises.Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson
