When you understand where people are coming from, what they are trying to say, what's important to them, and what they are trying to say, what's important to them, and so forth, being understood flows naturally; it falls into place with virtually no effort. Communication will break down, and you may end up with a battle of two minds.
I worked with a couple who spent the first ten years of being frustrated, arguing about their finances. he couldn't understand why she wanted to save every penny they earned, and she couldn't understand why he was a spend-thrift. After working with them, they have a nice balance between spending and saving. Seeking first to understand!
This will translate into better, loving relationships. Seeking to be understood....is the key to problems, victories, and a happy living!
