Prioritizing your relationship over self-interest will lead you to lower your guard. In a relationship, we will always find different points of view. I invite you to see the differences as an instrument to build and not to destroy. If the relationship is the most important thing for you, discussions based on who is right (ego vs ego), you will indeed have a winner in most cases, but there will always be a big loser: “your relationship.”
