Last night in my office I spent the last hour of my day listening to a couple trade insults, barbs, accusations, blame, resentments and recriminations for 45 minutes. It was a rollicking emotional time.
For the last seven minutes, after they were emotionally spent, I got them to see what they really wanted from each other, which was basically, that after about 20 years of this kind of a relationship, they each wanted to know that the other one still cared enough to keep it going for another 20 years.
Once they agreed on that, they left happy.
I think I'll skip a week of going through that again. That marriage will last.
