You always share great insights and recommendations. The only thing I would add is to show respect. Bickering can become disrespectful. I have learned and continue to be mindful of how I speak to my husband ( and others-I'm a mediator too) . I ask myself how can I disagree or tell my perspective in a respectful manner. It was really tough in this last political environment since we see things very differently. It's still hard But the one word and feeling that comes to mind is respect. We need to respect each other' s opinion even if we do not agree. Emotionally charged issues challenge our emotional intelligence- if there is no foundation of respect our relationship will fail.
