Avoid Fighting With Your Spouse When You Get Home From Work
The
most challenging part of the day can be when you arrive home and
inadvertently get into a fight with your spouse. It happens because we
often forget our interpersonal skills as soon as we walk through the
door. We tend to think we can just “be ourselves” without worrying about
how we’ll be perceived or the impact on our partners. But people skills
are just as necessary at home as they are at work. It’s unrealistic and
unhelpful for couples to expect that they’ll automatically be in sync
when they arrive home; different needs, different recovery times, and
different experiences during the day make it more likely that
you’ll be out of sync. That’s why it’s important to identify your needs
as individuals and talk about them as a couple — but don’t do it right
when you get home. Set aside some time to talk when you’re both feeling
more relaxed.
