(highlight:: The Importance of Understanding in Relationships
Key takeaways:
ā€¢ Intimate relationships require understanding in order to be successful.
ā€¢ Things like love, trust, and caring don't work if there isn't understanding between the partners.
Transcript:
Speaker 1
Understanding is one of the most important things that we want in our close relationships. This is actually true beyond the realm of close relationships, but especially in our most intimate relationships, our marriages, our friendships, our connections with our siblings And the rest of our family, one of the most powerful things that we want is for there to be real understanding in those relationships, that the on the other side know who we are and are caring And validating and accepting of that person.
Speaker 2
It's interesting, i think when most people think of intimate relationships, they think about things like love or, you know, appreciation or stability. But of course, the moment you say this, it makes intuitive sense to me that yet wanting to be understood is absolutely core to intimate relationships.
Speaker 1
Well, think the important point is that things like love and trust and caring simply don't work if there isn't understanding if your understanding of me is different then than how i Understand myself, then when you tell me how much you love me, you're telling me that you love somebody different than me.)

(highlight:: True Understanding in Interpersonal Relationships
Key takeaways:
ā€¢ To resolve a conflict, one must listen to the other person and not interrupt or talk over them.
ā€¢ It took a bit of effort to find a couch that met both parties' needs.
Transcript:
Speaker 1
And in a sense, that's how our initial conversation about the couch began. We would discuss what we liked or didn't like about the couch, and each of us would complete the other person's sentences, cause we were absolutely certain that we understood what wasg On in the other one's mind. To keep peart of that that was so unhelpful is the not allowing the perspectives to to be talked about to allow them to come out. In a marriage, and for that matter, in any kind of relationship, to resolve a conflict involves putting aside one's presumptions about what the other person is thinking and feeling, Even if those presumptions might be right, and instead really listening to what the other person is saying, and then making it clear that one really is listening. And that became the solution to the couch problem. When we stopped interrupting each other and stopped talking over each other and very clearly stated what each of us wanted to happen we are, we actually came to a very good agreement About it, which was that we searched for a couch that had the length that my wife wanted and that had the support features that i wanted. And it took a little bit of doing, but we found one, and it's coming next week.)

(highlight:: The Effect of Gender Differences on Relationships & Understanding
Key takeaways:
ā€¢ Women are more likely to be emotionally open than men.
ā€¢ This often leads to better relationships with women, but can be difficult with men.
Transcript:
Speaker 1
And what's interesting about it is that women tend to be relatively more open regardless of the gender of the person that they're talking to. But men tend to be open primarily with women. In other words, en when they are interacting with other men are less likely to be emotionally open, and that often interferes with men's developing close friendships, particularly Later in life.)

(highlight:: A Person's Past Behavior does not Guarantee Their Future Behavior
Key takeaways:
ā€¢ People generally believe that the way their partners have behaved on day one is a good predictor of how they will behave on day two.
ā€¢ We assume that the people whom we are engaging with to day, their behaviours are not going to change in the future.
ā€¢ One of the reasons we fail to understand other people is that our impressions of who they are are rooted in the past.
Transcript:
Speaker 2
And the researchers generally found that people believed that the way their partners had behaved on day one was a good predictor of how they would behave on day two. So in other words, we assume that the people whom weare engaging with to day, their behaviours are not going to change in the future. And of course, one of the reasons, in some ways, we fail to understand other people is that our impressions of who they are are rooted in the past.
Speaker 1
Well, we have a strong belief that character is a major determinant of behaviour. And so we assume that people are going to be consistent from one situation, from to another, from one day to another, indeed, even from one period of life to another period of life. And what we under consider is the idea that people grow, people change, that peoples situations change, and that that leads them to behave in different ways as well. So often when we're dealing with partners, when we're dealing with students, when we're dealing with co workers, we don't account for the fact that people develop, people change in Priorities, people mature, and they behave differently overtime.)
