Dear Dr. Laura:
I have been married for 27 years, and I have a few thoughts to share about working through arguements with your loved one.
- You should listen enough to at least let the other person articulate their issue or point of view.
- Do not force the other person to listen if they don't want to!
- Listen to YOURSELF so that you are not ever speaking too loudly, with harshness or even a hints of sarcasm.
- It doesn't matter who wins - it's how both parties feel afterwards.
Sometimes being a good loser makes you both winners.
How do you settle disagreements with your partner? Tell us,
