STATE YOUR SHARED GOALS
“It’s important to have unity, even in an argument. ‘We both want the same thing in the end’ is a great way to start a conversation or an argument. It reminds you and your partner that you’re not opposing each other. You may not agree, but you want the same outcome, which is a happy relationship.
This unification creates a perspective that is beyond the fight, and that’s important for your relationship. Fights come and go, but the relationship will stay.” -April Masini, relationship expert and author of Ask April.
