The trick isn’t avoiding small fights—it’s noticing them early and breaking the cycle. For us, it helped to name the moment: “Hey, I think we’re doing that thing again.” Then we’d literally pause, take a breath, and sometimes even laugh about it. Sometimes the best fix is just noticing the pattern before it spirals. Being on the same team helps more than being “right.”
