Episode 3: Attachment Styles in Marriage- Why You Keep Having the Same Fight

Episode 3: Attachment Styles in Marriage- Why You Keep Having the Same Fight (influenced by Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy, also known as EFT). Why do some couples keep having the same argument again and again, even when the topic changes? One week, it’s about finances. The next week it’s about schedules, communication, or responsibilities. In this episode of Couples Emporium, Lincoln and Sandi Johnson explore how attachment styles shape conflict patterns in relationships. Drawing from the work of Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), they unpack why recurring fights in marriage are rarely about the surface issues.Attachment theory helps explain why some partners pursue connection when conflict arises, while others withdraw to create space. Understanding these patterns can help couples stop fighting each other and begin recognizing the cycle that keeps them stuck.Disclaimer: The content shared on Couples Emporium is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as professional counseling, therapy, legal, or medical advice.
