Understanding almost always leads to compassion, especially when it comes to a loved one. It’s not just a matter of trying to see things from their point of view. Instead, you need to drop all rigid notions of who’s right and who’s wrong and see their emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. If you try to understand someone deeply, you may find that your anger with them has fled.

Ask a big question. The right people should tell you all about themselves, and you’re smart enough to see some of what they leave unsaid. A chat or thread about biggest flaws can get really funny really quickly.

You and your partner have different ideas about what you should do later. Be willing to make a compromise so you can spend less time arguing and more time having fun together.

It’s an easy kind of day. A few phone calls, a few emails, some news of the outside world. No fortunes will be made or lost, or even close. For some reason, it doesn’t seem boring to you at all. In fact, you realize that this is the stuff life is made of. Enjoy it.
