I completely agree with you, research is very essential.
Thanks for posting this. I agree with you. This insightful information is very useful.
Anyone in a fight should read this.
Great find, Bob! Couples should take note of the article that you found. Using “we” in any conflict denotes partnership; you are acknowledging that you and your partner are in a committed relationship. Both of you have to work at it to resolve any conflict. Moreover, using the word “we” may mean that you are putting yourself in your partner’s shoes. This means that you are understanding where he / she is coming from, hence minimize the blame game.
I couldn’t agree more. Wish I could go back and be more We orientated myself. Figured I’d share this with you, Bob http://bit.ly/9IutV2 It’s a good insight as to what type of person doesn’t have We in their vocabulary
Your post is helpful, relationship means all about give and take; it would be good things or bad things. Relationship is a bond or connection you have with another Person. This post is giving good relationship advice.
I think it’s positive to use language that simply talks about ourselves when we find ourselves in conflict. I usually recommend that people use statements that don’t include the other person, the “I” statements. Talking about our own experience and then letting the other person talk an equal amount of time is a great way to help people communicate more effectively. It also helps for people to put aside their gut reactions and just listen openly to the other person without rebuttals, editorializing or minimizing what the other person is saying.
It basically comes down to people giving each other the space to be themselves and feel important – both people.
This minute difference could actually make difference. Yes, I do agree with the use of WE. I think it does reinforce the idea of partnership in making a relationship work. Also, it does not put the blame solely on one person. Very good point. Thank you for sharing this one bud!
Great blog! I was searching for dating and relationship blogs and found your site through another blog I found searching: http://www.burisonthecouch.wordpress.com
I enjoyed their humor and insight. I’m glad searching led me your way. Thanks for the post! I’ll be sure to follow.
Communication can create tons of mistakes.Especially the short phase or one word expression.
Relationships are difficult. One of my biggest pet peaves are people who can’t control the words that come out their mouth. We are supposed to care for one another. We must remember that even in the heat of the moment!
All the males and females should read and understand this post.
Thank you for great post.
