By taking turns talking.
By internalizing that responding with kindness is strength, not weakness.
By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.
At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?
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.
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.”
Why is blood sugar ranging from 70-180 in a day and checked through a glucometer?
By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”
By keeping in mind it’s OK to have different opinions and different experiences, and they both matter in equal measure.
