Winning Isn't Everything

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.

1. You should listen enough to at least let the other person articulate their issue or point of view. 


2. Do not force the other person to listen if they don't want to! 


3. Listen to YOURSELF so that you are not ever speaking too loudly, with harshness or even a hints of sarcasm. 


4. 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, by signing up for the FREE Dr. Laura Family and send an email here.
