Couples as co-executives who must share updates. 8:57 Do the Hard Thing Now Stan and Kyle explore how doing the difficult, right thing in the present makes life easier later and how avoiding hard conversations creates chaos down the road. 10:21 Shared Vision and Mythology Without it, couples drift into disorganization and conflict. 13:31 Unskilled Interactions Stan explains why stress turns partners adversarial and how secure functioning requires emotional skill and discipline. 15:18 Become Experts on Each Other How partners can treat each other with the same care and attunement they would a child or teammate. 18:27 Family Scripts & Growing Up Notice old patterns; tolerate pain and difference to rise above instinct. 20:23 Relationship First Stan introduces principles and guardrails, values that keep the partnership aligned during hard moments. 26:11 Deal Breakers Now, Not Later Stan illustrates this through examples of unspoken incompatibilities that erode trust. 27:18 Consensus & Win-Win How secure couples negotiate like allies, ensuring neither partner loses. 30:34 Fighting Fair Stan compares a healthy couple to a democracy: hard, but sustainable. 35:14 Stress & Neurobiology Understanding the brain’s stress response helps couples stay connected in conflict. 38:12 Work the Problem, Not Each Other A key relational skill: address the issue, not your partner. Stan shares tactical language for reassurance, repair, and keeping conflicts solution-focused. 41:02 Moral Bargaining This kind of bargaining keeps the relationship sacred, more important than being right. 43:58 The Cost of Self-Protection Why adversarial dynamics are “relational suicide.” Stan emphasizes that self-protection destroys the very alliance meant to keep partners safe. 46:09 Attachment’s Grip Understanding how our attachment system can trap us in unhealthy relationships and how to face existential fears to uphold shared principles. 49:03 No Perfect Relationship There’s no such thing as a “healthy relationship,” only systems that work or don’t. Stan reframes relational success as tactical teamwork, not emotional perfection. 50:13 Closing: Secure Functioning Kyle closes with reflections on applying Stan’s model in therapy and real life. Stan underscores the reward: doing the hard, right thing together creates a thriving, resilient love.
