- Say, “I’m willing to go your way on this one.”
- You might lose some pride, and it might cause you some discomfort, but you are making a loving, lasting investment …it’s all about having control
- You already lost the fight by making the matter more personal than your partner’s sense of worth, and you’ve probably already lost emotional control by saying personal and hurtful things to your mate.
- Approach with willingness, and don't always insist on your own way.
- Your mate is not always right or being wise, but you are choosing to give strong consideration to their preference as a way of valuing them.
- Be like a palm tree by the ocean, being able to endure the greatest winds because it knows how to gracefully bend.
- Being wise is to show love and compassion, willingness
Demonstrate love by willingly choosing to give in to an area of disagreement between you and your significant other. Tell them you are putting their preference first.
