It's so easy for relationships to erupt into all kinds of conflicts, upset and disappointment. One minute we're feeling fine, the next moment, we're triggered. Rather than handle upset after it's happened,  go through all kinds of regret and remorse, there are wonderful ways of preventing conflict and misunderstanding from happening in the first place.  These different guidellines are from Value Centered Relationships, based on eternal truths from all world scriptures.  By stopping and bowing to the other (in our mind) before we interact, we take charge of the atmosphere between us, and also our state of mind.  In that moment we are looking at the other through a different set of eyes, bowing to that which is worthy and beautiful in them, rather than looking to win a battle of some kind.
