SALT LAKE CITY I work with many couples who experience conflict in their relationships and who want to change that. Often, these couples fight over small things that hinge on misunderstandings of intent.
Most of us don t take the time to understand the why behind another person s behavior or their intent before we react. We don t ask questions about why our partner did what they did. We must start doing this if we want a healthy relationship because the intent matters.
When we don t know someone s true intent, there will be many unintentional slights, misunderstandings and assumptions of wrongdoing when wrong isn t even there.
