THE HARMONIOUS COUPLE – CASES OF HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS (AL AND BETTY)

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 | 5:36 am

“There’s some kind of primitive bond there that we don’t understand, but which keeps us united and contented,” Betty says.

“Whatever it is, it works,” Al adds. “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke, as the saying goes.”

If there is one common thread in all of these happy marriages it is the willingness of both marital partners to look at and take responsibility for their own contribution to any conflicts. I have stressed throughout this book, both directly and indirectly through the kinds of games I have devised, how essential it is for both partners to be able to work through defensive postures that prevent resolution. Unfortunately, many people are convinced that their point of view is right; to give up their defensive postures means being willing to acknowledge—at least partially—that they are wrong.
