Rules for a serious conversation.

• Try to stick to an approximate conversation plan, so as not to go into a showdown, remembering all the grievances. • Pick a time. A man will not want to discuss anything if he just came from work, hungry, busy. • Start from the end. Immediately voice your position or desire. • Think over objections and prepare arguments in your favor. • Talk about your feelings. If you blame him, make harsh claims, this will not lead to a solution to the problem, but will only aggravate it. • End on a positive note. Thank the man, tell him a compliment.
