I love design- interior design, fashion, architecture, photography, you name it. Besides love relationships and mental health, design is the thing that i devote a substantial amount of my free time to. My Google reader is full of art and design blogs and every once in a while I stumble onto a post that melds my personal passion with my professional ones… like this one from Lisa Leonard.
I am so glad that Lisa chose to share this personal moment of conflict (and ultimately resolution) with her readers and I’m happy to share it with all of you. It’s a fantastic reminder that sometimes the solution to your latest argument is as simple as a deep breath and a second try at listening.
Read her post and then tell us, how do you and your partner reconnect when an argument erupts?
you & me {forever}
on saturday evening steve and i had a date night planned. the babysitter arrived and i grabbed my tripod and asked steve if we could shoot a few pics before we went to dinner. he agreed {he’s such a good sport} but as soon as we walked up the hill we started to argue. he had ideas. i had different ideas. i got mad. i was ready to pick up the tripod and forget the whole thing. but then we each took a deep breathe and apologized.

It’s true, I think the best solution to an argument is to actually listen to what the other person is saying. I think this is the main reason why I don’t really get in arguments with people. There has only been one time that have lost my temper, but it was because my friend refused to listen to anything I had to say. If everyone just listened better I think everyone would be much happier.
Do you think that using websites like http://www.luvmore.com can help us create a healthier relationship?
Thank you!
