This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.

C. S. Lewis, On Living in an Atomic Age (1948)

GUIDELINES FOR BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP

Don’t assign blame when you’re in conflict

Don’t keep score on your partner

Speak for yourself using “I” statements instead of “you” statements

Don’t argue perceptions or facts

Don’t threaten abandonment in the face of conflict

Communicate in four sentences or less

Repeat what you hear them saying to make sure you heard it right BEFORE responding

Avoid critical remarks, blaming the other, or justifying your actions

Don’t worry about whether your partner is adhering to these guidelines–take sole responsibility for yourself and hold yourself accountable to healthy communication.

if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding--indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.  for the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

prov 2:1-6

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

— Rainer Maria Rilke
