Do arguments with your partner leave you feeling misunderstood and disconnected? You long for closeness, yet every tough conversation turns into a painful loop of blame, defensiveness, and silence. What if conflict itself isn’t the enemy—but the key to deeper intimacy, if you know how to navigate it safely?

In Safe to Fight, Dr. Elias Vance introduces the Conflict Resolution Protocol (CRP)—a proven, science-backed system that transforms conflict from a battleground into a bridge for understanding. Drawing from decades of research in relationship science, attachment theory, and neuroscience, Dr. Vance offers couples a practical roadmap for communicating effectively, repairing emotional wounds, and growing stronger together.

Inside, you’ll discover:

 • The 4 stages of every argument—and how to interrupt destructive patterns before they spiral.
 • The “Cooling-Off Window” that prevents emotional flooding and resets your nervous system.
 • The “Soft Start-Up” that lets you raise tough issues without triggering defensiveness.
 • The Speaker–Listener framework that ensures both partners feel heard and validated.
 • How to decode your unique conflict styles and attachment needs.
 • The step-by-step CRP system to transform fights into opportunities for connection.

Packed with scripts, action prompts, and practical tools, Safe to Fight is more than a book—it’s a relationship blueprint for building trust, empathy, and lasting resilience. Whether you’re newly together or decades into your marriage, this guide will help you communicate with compassion, repair effectively after conflict, and rediscover the love that brought you together in the first place.

Stop fearing conflict—and learn how to make it safe to fight.
