Every Couple's Key to Peace. In relationships, understanding—not agreement—is the key. In employing the word understanding here, I’m not referring to some impersonal, coldly objective comprehension of your partner's—or child’s, parent’s, friend’s, or co-worker’s—viewpoint. Nor is there anything critical or judgmental about it. Rather, it’s used to signify an empathic, open-hearted appreciation of where your significant other is coming from. And such a humane understanding can be present totally independent of your own bias or perspective. It allows the other’s position, however contrary to your own, to co-exist with it—if not quite serenely, at least peacefully and amicably. However paradoxical it may seem, two opposing viewpoints can be made compatible—despite their undeniable discordance. 6 Ways to Keep Long-Term Relationships Exciting.
