Did you know that the way you fight or how you resolve conflict can predict whether or not you'll have a successful marriage? That's right. According to Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute,  the single greatest predictor for a successful marriage is repairing skills. Repairing skills refers to a couple's ability to resolve conflict.
