There is no perfect relationship.
Relationships require effort.
No two people agree all the time about everything.
The next time you and a loved one disagree, consider these 5 Tips to Calm Disagreements in Your Relationships:
- Remember you are on the same team. Embrace a "we" mindset instead of a "me" mindset.
- Evaluate how much this current challenge will matter in 6 days, 6 months and 1 year from now.
- Take a breath and rephrase what your loved one tells you. Have your partner take a breath and rephrase what you tell her/him to understand each other better.
- Visualize being together in the future during the disagreement.
- Remember your loved one is not the problem, the problem is the challenge you face together.
