Interesting Quote of the Day
(In relation to marital disputes/arguments)
We soon discovered not all problems are solvable. A study by the Gottman Institute found that only 31 percent of a couple's major continuing disagreements are about resolvable issues. The other 69 percent are about irresolvable "perpetual problems"-that is, fundamental differences in personalities or basic needs. All couples have to deal with issues that will never get resolved. The same research tells us that what really matters is not solving the perpetual problems, but the ways in which we talk about them.
