Compromise, not sacrifice
from Pause Purpose Play · host Michaela Thomas
How do you reach a compromise in your relationship? What are the things you fight about over and over? All couples have perpetual problems, and feel like you keep going around in circles and not reach productive problem-solving. Rather than seeing the other person as the problem, you need to see yourselves as a team who together solve the problems between you. In this episode, I talk about how to make decisions as a couple, without one or both of you feeling you have sacrificed rather than compromised. This episode of Pause Purpose Play is based on chapter sixteen of my new book, The Lasting Connection, about developing love and compassion for yourself and your partner.
