Successful Relationships Reading Corner
This week, we suggested that for peaceful relationships, you share your opinions but don’t be opinionated. Here are some articles we’ve written about finding solutions that work for both people.
How You Make Decisions and Find Mutual Solutions is a Pattern for Your Relationships “As you continue to apply this process to decision-making and finding solutions, the experience of how this feels and the knowledge you acquire accumulates. You recognize that place where you both feel heard, each of your wants and needs are being fulfilled, and you know the path to get there. This in turn engenders a feeling of profound peace and well-being, and a closeness of shared honesty and trust.”
Why Creating Mutual Solutions in Your Relationships Brings Peace and Joy “There is an incomparable pleasure to be found in seeking and creating mutual solutions. The very act of embarking down a path together where the adventure of mutuality awaits you, brings an experience of your connection to the forefront. This has a positive effect in and of itself. When making decisions and looking for answers to perceived problems, it is possible to find resolutions that work for both of you. It is possible to let go of having to be right, of having things your way, or of having to give something up to keep peace. In fact, these methods of separateness and denial bring anything but peace. Instead, they bring stress and a slow-building sense of distance between people.”

It’s a way of exchanging positions and feelings that allow us to find a mutual solution – one that works for both of us.”
