“My feelings were the same. I understood that we both need each other.” Instead of just resolving a fight, this strategy is to turn the fight into a good opportunity to share your feelings about your partner. Asking, “How do you feel about me?” to bring out his true feelings, which may only be revealed after a fight, might bring you closer to each other.
