Leading and Love

We want what we want and once you have two people in a room, politics begins. All the tools have to be broken out to manage the situation in order to get to positive outcomes - communication, negotiation, engagement, collaboration, and the like.

Even though your marriage has political implications, don’t treat it as such. Spouses need to contribute to nurturing their relationship to guarantee mutually beneficial outcomes.

Idea #1

Happiness in marriage is a two spouse affair. Both spouses working together create a happy relationship. If the job is left to one spouse, neither will be happy in the marriage.

Idea #2

One of the most important things in a marriage is fairness. This might take a while to build into the relationship. The only way to know is to talk about. Never stop talking about it and never stop working together to build fairness.
