1-Liners for Relationship Success!

Do you wonder how you can be talking calmly to your spouse or partner and suddenly the discussion escalates before you know what's happening? Getting there is so easy, primarily because we forget to apply the essential 1-liners and go down the "Let me prove you wrong,"
path.

Here are a few one-liners which can help you climb back up that slippery slope.

• "I hadn't thought of it that way."
• "Tell me more."
• "Help me understand the ways this issue affects you."
• "I'm sorry I overreacted."
• And my favorite, passed on by a colleague, "I want to know the story that goes with your feelings."
