Every day we have to make our decisions and some of them are sometimes taken for granted without deep assessment of the consequences they could bring to our lives. Within married life, over the years, we realize that decisions made at home are calmer when there is a consensus between husband and wife, ranging from what will be placed in the shopping cart to the way to educate the children .

Divergences can arise, especially when we decide for ourselves what to do, because, faced with the possibility of error, our spouse can blame us, saying: “It was obvious that this was not going to work!”. Life in two becomes easier when the couple realizes that good sense lies in the agreement between husband and wife , which harmoniously establish it within the relationship .

Learning to listen

However, regardless of our state of life: single , married or widow(er), the moment we are imbued with doing something, impulsiveness encourages us to do what we like the most or it seems easier. In an attempt to make our will happen, we focus our goal on a single option, which we believe is the best alternative, and so we risk. Often, obstinate in our truth, we close our ears to any other opinion than what we think is right; and blind in this regard, we may lose the notion of the real importance of what we have decided to do.

As individuals, we have the right to form our own opinion about things, but we have to be aware of the impacts caused by our attitudes in our lives, as well as the lives of those who are at our side. In traffic, we often see dangerous conversions, forced overruns, simply to save a few minutes, often in no way meaningful to travel. However, would passengers of such vehicles be aware and unanimous in accepting for themselves the consequences of the decision taken by the driver?

We know that some unthinking attitudes, taken deliberately by us, have in some way had great consequences, the effects of which still have repercussions on our lives, on the work environment, on the family and may even have overshadowed our image before other people.

In the face of future situations, simple or complex, let us take as tactics the sharing of opinions with the other about what we intend to do. Thus, we will avoid that the absence of good sense makes us take our feet by the hands with attitudes that can compromise to us and our fellow man. To do this, to gather information about the facts, to study what we have in our hands, to determine the pros and cons of what we intend to assume are signs of maturity, balance and prudence.
