Repair focuses on interrupting destructive cycles, reducing escalation, and restoring repair capacity before long-term growth is attempted.
Repair is designed for couples experiencing escalating arguments, emotional flooding, trust rupture, or recurring conflict cycles. It is not intended for relationships that are stable but seeking optimization.
Repair focuses on increasing repair attempt success, reducing escalation duration, and stabilizing emotional reactivity. Repair stabilizes volatility; it does not evaluate compatibility.
Repair becomes necessary when conflict frequency is increasing, contempt or defensiveness are persistent, or conversations routinely collapse. Repair precedes growth.

Repair is the stabilization phase. Without stabilization, rebuilding efforts are ineffective.
Research consistently shows that failed repair attempts and emotional flooding predict separation, while contempt is the strongest predictor of breakdown. Stability must be restored before relational growth is possible.
