Save your marriage: Recommit to shared decision making, soft words, lots of listening, and calm emotions

The ABC News Medical Unit shows Madonna and Guy Ritchie leading the way–renewing their vows in an attempt to mend a broken marriage.

Dan Childs writes (excerpt):
Heitler says that in terms of the success rate she has seen for mended marriages, “80 percent end up with a wonderful marriage.” But she notes that in order to succeed, those who recommit to each other need to develop three crucial skill sets: the ability to make shared decisions, the ability to consistently talk in tactful ways and listen to their partner’s response and stay in control of their emotions so they can avoid letting their anger take control in their relationship.
