New Rules For Arguing

  • Try to see things from the other person’s point of view.
  • Consider whether the other person may know something that you do not know.
  • Avoid the use of these words “you”, “always”, “never”.  They do not lead to happy outcomes.
  • Disagreements are not necessarily bad – see if you can live with what is at the issue.
  • Never argue in front of children.  It scares them and teaches them the wrong way to resolve their differences.
  • Let go of having to be right if being right means you lose a friend or a loved one.
