50-50 Marriage: Principles of Successful Negotiations

In successful negotiations, the key to being able to have a 50-50 marriage is deciding to respect your spouse while understanding the way your spouse thinks.  That is a choice to Love him or her Deeply!  It is crucial for you to understand what your spouse really wants.  That means if you figure-out what they are willing to “give” in order to “get” you can negotiate with them at a better position of compromise.  This means that you can negotiate with your spouse starting from his or her minimum, yet still acceptable, desired-outcome.

In marriage that is the make-or-break point of a spouse’s willingness to negotiate in a marriage in crisis.  If your partner cannot at least get ‘that’ level of support in the relationship, he or she will probably refuse to negotiate any further.  Demanding more compromise beyond ‘that’ point will likely cause him or her to give-up and end the 50-50 marriage negotiations or the marriage.  In marriage, that point is when the partner expects you to stop being you, as the person you are inside.

The second key to successful “50-50 marriage” negotiations involves understanding those same points; what I call the minimum yet optimal-desired compromise-point both you and your spouse are willing to have compromised.  To make it work you need to see if this point in how far you are willing to negotiate will work with how your spouse is willing to go.  Beyond that point the two-of you in your 50-50 marriage negotiations will get nowhere.

The third rule of successful 50-50 marriage negotiation is understanding that absolutely everyone wants to be respected and “50-50 marriage” negotiations will break down if there is a lack of respect from one or both of the parties.
