Skills you’ll practice

Identifying your “first move” after a disagreement (explain, withdraw, soothe, fix)
Distinguishing reassurance needs from problem-solving needs
Timing repairs: when to pause vs when to re-engage
Using clearer language for accountability and boundaries
Spotting what helps you feel safe enough to reconnect

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many couples get stuck because they use the right repair tool at the wrong time—like offering solutions when your partner wants empathy, or taking space without a clear return plan. Another common snag is assuming your partner’s repair style should match yours, which can turn good intentions into more friction.

How the difficulty stays balanced

This quiz is Mixed difficulty, blending straightforward scenarios with more nuanced, emotionally complex situations. That balance helps you build confidence early while still challenging you to think about context, tone, and follow-through as you progress.
