Finding resolutions is imperative to your relationship. Disagreements and conflicts are inevitable, but all of that is made worse by struggling to find a resolution to the issue at hand.

The more you struggle to find a resolution, the more the stuff from the past hangs around. And that doesn’t work long term.

One key tool to finding a resolution is to check your assumptions.

In essence…

Don’t let your assumptions talk you out of resolutions.

Assumptions stop you from being curious.
Assumptions stop you from seeing things from anyone’s perspective but your own.
Assumptions stop you from working together towards collaborative resolutions.

The more the two of you can work as a team, the easier and more within reach your resolutions will become.

I know it’s not easy to be curious when you’re hurting or to ask questions when you believe you already “know”. And yet those are the exact things that are going to get you out of stuck and into reconnection.

Take some time to check your assumptions and see what resolutions might just be waiting for the two of you.

I’m cheering you both on.

Until next week,

-A
