Does it seem like you disagree and argue about almost everything in your relationship? A listener writes in to ask how to get his point across without arguing with his wife. Maybe you've wondered the same. In this episode, I am sharing a powerful communication tool (also a conversation starter) called the Mirror Moment. This practice will help you to explain your perspective or opinion to someone else and help them to do the same.

Even when you disagree, you will both now see each other, not just the problem, and will be much more likely to come to a consensus without the need for arguing, yelling, or drama.
