Letting Your Partner Off the Hook – John Gray

In relationships, we can often inadvertently step on our partners toes, or they can do the same to us. (Inadvertenly, of course) Relationship Expert, Dr, JOhn Gray, give us some powerful and simple advice: let them off the hook.

Men & women have the same challenges, the biggest can be to properly communicate the message.

The other day I cleaned all the kitchen when my wife came home from a trip – it’s spotless – and after cleaning up I left a glass on the counter. She came and saw this beautiful kitchen and says, “Who left this glass on the counter?”

(That was not a good big scoring point women… ok?)

Fortunately I understood. I know that’s her tendency: women can see everything. When they are in good mood they see good things and sometimes they are not in a good mood, or stressed, they see not the good things.

So we got in communication, I said “Oh yeah, I left that glass there. Hey! Did you notice the rest of the kitchen???” She responsds: “oh it looks gorgeous! You did such a great job its fantactic.” She was able to bounce back… and that the most important thing about a mature adults. Is when your partner does make a mistake give him/her a chance do it right next time.

Just let them off the hook, let them off the hook.
