Well, being married with two young children can always provide an opportunity to form an argument with your spouse. When my husband and I have a disagreement I try to first approach the situation as kind as I can, then I try to view it from his perspective. Using these two strategies helps to diffuse the problem, if I approached him with a raised voice and using mean words the problem can easily get out of control. Then viewing it from his perspective allows me to see why he responded the way he did; allowing me to gain valuable insight on the matter that can help prevent future arguments. The principles that were discussed this week could actually be used in my day-to-day conversations and disagreements that I have in my personal life.
