Does it seem easier to have a negative influence than a positive one? To positively influence anyone, especially your spouse or significant other, you must be sensitive to their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Therefore, when couples disagree, one, if not both, desires to be bigger than the other, emphasizing their will. They remain factually correct, believing their viewpoint is the correct one. However, two rights never make a marriage or relationship work; one must mature and apologize.
This book is about the difficulties facing relationships and marriages, but on a more profound level; it is about male or female leadership. Every leader establishes a rhythm and cadence which forces them to advance the relationship or marriage. Summarily, are you the leader within your relationship or union who makes excellent decisions but lacks the influence necessary to inspire change? Or are you the leader who makes poor decisions, but your leverage (Influence) creates opportunities for hidden areas of your relationship or marriage to flourish?
