Conflicts and disputes are inevitable in families. According to a recent report on the MSN website, American writers Paula Suchman and Jenny Anderson use economic ideas to tell everyone how to easily resolve family conflicts in their book "The Economics of Couples.".
Don't divide the housework equally. The average score for housework may seem "equal," but it's actually very risky. From an economic perspective, a family also needs a bit of "competitive advantage". If you do more today and I do more tomorrow, then one can grow and fall, and each other can be more considerate.
Have the courage to make small changes. "We always want to get things done one step at a time, and we despise small changes.". In fact, helping family members cook meals and go shopping together can bring more happiness "interest" through the daily accumulation of small plots.
Avoid staying up late to resolve disputes. Many times, the more urgent a problem is to solve, the more complex things become, and the contradictions worsen. At this point, it is advisable to refer to the "loss avoidance" theory and put things aside for the time being. Each person should do his or her own thing, and it will be easier to truly solve the problem after a sleep and a calm mood.
Actively face difficulties. Managing a family inevitably encounters various difficulties. In fact, this is like the "creative destruction" rule in economics, where progress and innovation are always made through mistakes. Therefore, there is no need to be pessimistic and discouraged.
Tell your family what's on your mind. We very much hope to be one heart and soul with our family. In fact, the best way to understand each other is to "follow the principle of transparency", by clearly telling your family what you think and do, rather than letting them "guess".
Do as you think. I wanted to surprise my family, but due to various concerns, I procrastinated and ended up with nothing. You can learn the "trust" strategy, find someone to remind yourself and urge yourself to do it.
Create a happy atmosphere. Many people take it for granted that having a family brings happiness. In fact, according to the "emotional gap" theory, procrastination and waiting only make you increasingly disappointed. It's best to take the initiative and create a happy atmosphere.
