| Psychology: Rules can keep marital spats fair (The Columbus Dispatch) Posted: 20 Feb 2010 11:06 PM PST Message from fivefilters.org: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. Q: My fiance and I would like some direction on how we can deal with the inevitable disagreements that will occur in our marriage. A: Here are some suggestions: • Choose times to discuss problems and differences when you're not fatigued, under stress or distracted. For example, don't discuss financial concerns while rushing to a social event or at the end of a long day. Clear, creative and productive thinking is easier to accomplish when time is set aside to brainstorm and solve problems. Meeting for lunch or talking on a Saturday morning probably will be more productive. • Agree not to participate in a blame game. Stay away from accusatory patterns, and instead discuss the area of disagreement. Consider your spouse's perspective, always show respect and don't say things that you will regret later. • When you do disagree, try to focus on concerns rather than history. Don't bring up things that happened months or years ago. Develop an agenda for solving problems, and try to be as specific as possible. For example, if you're going to discuss discipline problems concerning your children, don't become sidetracked by issues about in-laws or political differences. • If the discussion heats up, call timeout until you both calm down. • Don't let friends or other family members try to referee your disagreements. Get professional help, if necessary. • Ask yourself how you would want to solve a problem with your best friend. Most good friends don't yell and make hurtful remarks, so treat your spouse as your best friend. • Finally, don't expect to agree on everything. There might be some situations -- with luck, not many -- in which you have to "agree to disagree." Hap LeCrone, a Cox News Service columnist, is a clinical psychologist.
