Tips to Grow On
| Today's Email Question from a Site Visitor How can I talk with my spouse without constant arguing and bickering? Therapist's Answer Some people don't know how to discuss problems without throwing into the conversation "everything but the kitchen sink". They don't know how to stick to the point of the discussion long enough to come to some common ground on a possible solution. People can stop themselves indulging in this habit of "debating the enemy" by stopping long enough to find one point of agreement. That tells the other person that you are listening and trying to understand. After you have clearly stated your agreement, then you can advance further into the ways in which you disagree. |
