Why Being Nice to Your Spouse Can be Good for You
Thème: Family Law janvier 23, 2017 by Jim Jeffcott
So often when one is engaged in a family law dispute the tendency is to want to get the other spouse or beat the other spouse. Generally, I do not think that is the right approach, but not because I think that one should give in or be ready to concede to the other party. Instead, it can be in one’s own interest to be nice. It certainly helps to reduce conflict between parties in most situations.
Keep in mind that being nice does not mean one cannot assert his or her own interests and negotiate firmly and resolutely. It requires a party to be aware of the other party’s interests and conscious of them when one is making suggestions for resolution. I have found in most cases that when we focus on interests and take the time to understand the interests of everyone involved the options for resolution expand and it becomes easier to reach an outcome that is acceptable to everyone.
This blog post underlines some of the reasons why that is often the better approach.
