Question - Gurudev, how to make my home a place of happiness? Even on weekends, my wife picks up arguments.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji - You know what? I’ll give you an advice. Take turns in an argument, don’t do it at the same time. You argue on Monday, let her argue on Sunday! And you keep smiling. You know, an argument cannot be countered with an argument. Questions cannot be replied to with questions. When she argues you smile, okay! Make this a policy, and keep rowing the boat!
A humorous and wise advice from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji!
He suggests:
- Take turns arguing, don't do it simultaneously!
- Designate a day for each person to express their concerns (e.g., Monday for him, Sunday for her)
- Maintain a smiling demeanor, even when the other person is arguing
- Avoid countering arguments with more arguments or questions
- Instead, focus on listening actively and responding thoughtfully
By implementing this approach, you can:
- Reduce conflict and create a more harmonious atmosphere
- Practice active listening and empathy
- Cultivate a sense of humor and playfulness in your relationship
- Keep the "boat" of your relationship rowing smoothly!
Sudarshan Kriya can also help you: To
- Develop greater patience and understanding
