In this episode we discuss the tricky subject of how to deal with disagreements. Whilst we do spend a little time on disagreements of fact (like what actually happened or what is "true"), the bulk of this episode focuses on what to do about a collision of values - in other words when you need to make a decision within a relationship, but disagree at a fundamental level about what the right thing to do is. For example, whether to send children to private or public school, whether to have savings or accrue debt on credit cards to buy what you want or whether eating meat is acceptable or unethical. We provide clarity on how to prepare for resolution of these clashes without getting into an argument or, worse still, a fight. We talk about compromise and how to strengthen the relationship in the process of coming to a decision that both people can live with and that meets both peoples needs.
"Having an open conscious conversation with your partner about problems within your relationship is key, yes these conversations are hard, they are vulnerable and can be deeply triggering, but over time if these things aren't talked about they will lead to resentment and tension within the relationship and a break down in communication with both parties needs not being met". Kezra
"Both Kezra and I firmly believe that a good approach to disagreement means that both sides win; we are both on the same side of the net in a game of tennis against life, we both want each other to win". Ian
