In one way or another, you have to find out how you're going to make decisions.

There are going to be agreements and disagreements, and you have to have the art of thoughtful disagreement.

Now, people find their domains differently.

Maybe somebody says, okay, I'll take care of these things, and you take care of that.

I don't know, some people, you know, the traditional household might say, okay, I'll take care of making the money out, and the man goes out and he makes money in the world, and then one woman says, I'll take care of the kids.

We're not there anymore.

But each role, I'm trying to say, in some way you have to find out how to do the art of thoughtful disagreement.

And it makes sense.

And then also, knowing what's good, what you're good at and what you're not good at.

It's a good thing to know what you're good at and what you're not good at, right?

They should pause and

and they should go above it, and they should say, how should we deal with each other when that happens?

In other words, what are our protocols for working ourselves through that so that we can then move beyond that to make a decision?

That could be one of the protocols.

The main thing I'm trying to convey

is when people are ordinarily in an argument, they just argue.

And they don't know the ground rules, they don't have a process in place.

So if you look above it and you come up with whatever your rules are, it may be you could have domain,

It may be that you have a mutually agreed party that you would say, okay, let's plead our cases to and have them mediate it.

It could be a lot of different paths could exist to say, ah, I think that's a good path when we have a disagreement on how we plead our cases and then move beyond it.
