Description
Match Point
Most people default to one of four conflict styles for married couples under pressure: withdrawing, pursuing, escalating, or placating. None of them are character flaws — they’re patterns, usually learned early, that can be recognized and worked with once they’re actually named out loud.
Match Point is 40 scenario-based conversation cards for conflict styles for married couples, organized around all four patterns — real “what would you do if” situations, not abstract theory.
This deck treats conflict styles for married couples as patterns worth naming together, not blaming each other over. Most cards present a real scenario and ask what you’d actually do, mixed with direct questions about your own earliest warning signs and real needs mid-conflict.
What It Helps With:
- Naming the real conflict styles for married couples at play in your own relationship
- Genuine scenario-based prompts, not abstract or generic questions
- Real, practical language for asking for space, staying present, or de-escalating
- A structure organized by pattern, not topic, so you can go straight to what’s relevant
This deck is for married couples who recognize themselves or each other in one of these four patterns and want a real, structured way to talk about it. No style is the wrong one to have. They’re just patterns — and once you can name yours, you can actually work with it.
