Using arguments for understanding rather than winning
As a couple, the health of our argument style can be far more important to the overall success of our relationship than what we fight about or how often.
In healthy relationships, there are certain rules, parameters and boundaries that are not crossed due to the mutual respect we carry for one another and the relationship overall. The argument backdrop isn't about winning at all costs, proving the rightness of my argument, maintaining the one-up position but rather about using this experience to know more about one another a willingness to listen, hear our partners side with openness and a mutual intention to find middle ground.
This episode continues to explore some of what works and what doesn't in relationships when it comes to disagreements.
