3 Mental Models That Changed My Relationship Life
The key to having a great relationship lies in the decisions we make every day.
The key to having a great relationship lies in the decisions we make every day, from how we communicate with our partners to the way we approach conflicts. How do you ensure you’re making the best decisions possible?
One answer lies in the mental models that we use to guide our thinking and behaviors.
Think of mental models like a set of tools in a carpenter’s toolbox. Just as there are different tools for different purposes, mental models provide different frameworks we can apply to understand different areas of our lives.
I’m always looking for ways to improve my relationship, and getting to know some of these models has been a game-changer. In the last two years since I’ve been married, these models have had a significant impact on how I approach issues and interact with my partner.
By understanding and applying these models in your relationship, they can help you communicate better, build trust, navigate difficult situations more effectively, and create a more fulfilling relationship.
