Married couples are
sure to know a thing or two about the feeling of being on the losing
side of an argument. This is a situation wherein an individual’s
sense of reason is more often than not trumped by frustration, as
told in the
The
Gottman Institute relationship blog. Most married couples find it
really difficult to wiggle their way out a messy squabble. Still,
there’s hope of managing all conflict, and it’s summed up in one
word: compromise.
Contrary to popular
belief, compromise doesn’t always mean that one loses and one wins.
This is a common misconception that hinders most couples’ ability
to compromise with each other, mostly because people are often used
to deciding based on their own satisfaction.
