Ask your spouse, “How was your day?” and do your best to listen. Really listen. All of this is easier said than done, of course. It takes practice.
The Good Life
Robert J. Waldinger and Marc Schulz Ph.D
Great partners share your obsession and commitment. They don’t think you’re crazy, they know you’re crazy, and that’s what they love about you. You tell them your plans, and even if they don’t completely understand where you’re headed, they know you know exactly where you’re headed. They only question they’ll ask is: You want me to drive?
Any of these beliefs or actions can make it hard for the lower-power person to raise the difficult issues and stick with it. However, the single most limiting one is the fear of conflict—believing that conflict is a sign of a flawed relationship and/or that once unleashed, disagreements will escalate and permanently damage or even destroy the relationship.
