01.21.08 Taking The Doorknobs Off

I heard a story once about newlyweds learning to fight. Every time a conflict broke out the couple would follow the same script.  She’d lock herself in the bathroom and he’d stand outside the door begging her to come out.  Her silence gave her all the power and left him with only two unattractive options: End the argument unresolved and ignored or keep talking through a piece of wood to a piece a wood.

Then the husband did something absolutely brilliant: He took the doorknobs off.  Without a place to retreat, she had to talk when disagreements arose, or at least share a room with him.  And that increased that chances that peace could be reached.  To read more click here.

I believe that the world would be a better place if we all would learn how to communicate instead of sticking our heads in a hole in the grounds and not acknowledging that there is a problem.
