3. Repeating your point won't get you heard, but listening to theirs will. Often, we scream at each other across the rubble that divides us, versus working to collectively remove it. We get so caught up in our need to justify our actions, prove others wrong, and to dazzle with our logic that we lose track of the outcome we are after - a stronger relationship. You already know your point of view. Repeating it over and over (or louder and louder) is not likely going to make others suddenly agree with you. In fact, just the opposite is more likely: They'll argue with you even if they agree with what you're saying!

As Stephen Covey taught us in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People we should seek first to understand, then to be understood. Most of us will listen if we feel heard. So ask questions. Listen to their answers. Ask questions to understand, not judge. Regular use of this tool will help keep small relationship problems from escalating into bigger ones, and help to more quickly resolve those that may already have.

4. Figure out who wants it more and then let go. Usually, like a stream carving a canyon, it's the little things that wear relationships down over time. Whether its fights at home over a messy household, or fussing at work about keeping the break room or workstation tidy, these minor nuisances play a major role in decaying goodwill over time.

When there is a disagreement about how to go about something, e.g. whether to fly or drive for vacation, whether to visit or call the client, go with the person who has the most energy over the issue. If it matters more to them than you, do it their way. Stop turning pebbles into boulders. If both parties in a relationship use this tool, it helps maintain equanimity over time. Neither of you will feel like you have to always give in, or play a game of tit for tat. By definition, you'll only be letting go of stuff that in the end does not matter as much to you as it does to them, so what's the difference? Let it go.

5. Have goals together and you'll grow together. Relationships are dynamic, moving, changing organisms, because people are. When we stop growing together, that's when we start dying together. It's easy to fall into relationship ruts. We assume we know everything there is to know about someone and we stop learning, or even paying attention, to who they are now. If they change or grow, we don't notice. If their skill set expands at work it's invisible to us.

It's like being in relationship with a picture of a person, rather than with the person themselves. Having a purpose, a goal, a challenge you are pursuing together, will help maintain forward momentum in all of your relationships. Focusing on setting goals and meeting challenges together renders rubble as incidental. Pursuing mutual goals may even transform rubble into stepping-stones that lead to personal growth, enhanced mutual understanding and a shared sacrifice that ultimately draws you closer together.

A Final Word

Relationships, like all living things, need to be nurtured and replenished over time. Stop tending your garden and the weeds will grow; so too in your relationships. And, most importantly, if you have a relationship that needs some work, look in the mirror. That's where the healing and the work need to begin.
