There is no relationship in this world that hasn’t traversed the rocky road. And while that happens, some partners quit and move to another one whilst others communicate, understand the problems (pain points) and solve it. We’ll talk about the problem-solvers today. And this is what they do.
- Make an actual appointment with each other to talk and don’t let anything come in the way – cellphones, kids, TV, nothing.
- Meet at a more casual, fun environment to set a mood, outside of the usual chaotic home scene – coffee shop, restaurant, pub.
- They set rules not to interrupt when the partner is talking.
- They use body language to show they're listening. They don’t doodle, look at their cellphone, or pick at their skin. They nod so the other person knows they’re getting the message.
- They ask clear questions to get to the main problem and try and solve it with a calm mind.
