By giving up the notion that someone has to “win” or that anyone loses by saying “you are right”, “I am sorry”, or “I can do better.”
By internalizing that responding with kindness is strength, not weakness.
By taking turns talking.
Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?
By keeping in mind it’s OK to have different opinions and different experiences, and they both matter in equal measure.
By deciding to stop with the criticism and the nagging and instead say thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for loving me.
By wanting to truly understand each other, despite feeling unheard.
I'm pretty sure that my dog is transgender, how would I go about transitioning it?
By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”
By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.
