When asked what is our best marital advice we always answer the same ... "Fight Naked"! While taken literally it can be a very effective methodology ... after all, who wants to fight with a naked person!

All kidding aside the NAKED part is an acronym for 5 great things to remember to keep our disagreements both civil and productive at the same time. The 5 steps look like this:

  • N stands for "nothing up your sleeve" or no hidden agendas.
  • A stands for "assume the best" which we went into in depth last week in podcast #137 ... Click Here for that episode!
  • K stands for "keep things respectful"! I am not the enemy and deserve your respect even in a disagreement.
  • E stands for "engage in creating a positive outcome" and be a serious problem solver looking for solutions.
  • D stands for "decide on a plan of action" and move forward. Don't just leave problems hanging so that they pop up again and again!

Does this acronym help us in working through the inevitable problems and conflicts we run into as a couple? You bet it does! Are we perfect at it? Nope, not yet! But we want to be and we appreciate that we both want to be a part of the solution and "not the enemy"!

Let us know what you think about this episode and if you have any questions! Do us a favor when you have a few - like, subscribe and share this podcast with others! We would greatly appreciate it!
