offers help with honesty by using the phrase "I'd love it if (specific, desired behavior)" or "I love it when (specific, desired behavior)" or giving a rating of 1-5. Then a text can be sent to your spouse with that Gift of Honesty.
How can you tell your spouse that you didn't like something he or she just did (i.e., a Love Buster) without using Love Busters yourself?
Or how can you remember to tell your spouse that you really like what he or she just did?
Or what if your spouse asks you how you feel about something and you don't know how to respond honestly?
The phrases developed by Jennifer Harley Chalmers in the early 1990s have helped many couples effectively give their Gift of Honesty. This apps helps you use those phrases, "I'd love it if you would...", "I love it when you...", and "I rank...a (1-5)." After a desired, specific behavior is typed into the appropriate phrase, then you can send that text to your spouse...your Gift of Honesty.

Negotiation in marriage is especially important if spouses want to make thoughtful adjustments throughout life and avoid a lifestyle of maladjustment. Yet, for many, hearing the words, "Let's negotiate," can create feelings of worry or fear.
Negotiation in marriage is especially important if spouses want to make thoughtful adjustments throughout life and avoid a lifestyle of maladjustment. Yet, for many, hearing the words, "Let's negotiate," can create feelings of worry or fear. Why? Well, maybe our past experiences have led us to being “strong-armed” into reluctant decisions, or decisions were simply compromises, with neither person getting what s/he wanted.
That’s what makes negotiation in marriage with the Policy of Joint Agreement different. This policy guides couples to use a process of problem solving where there is mutual enthusiastic agreement; two wisdoms coming together in unity to make the BEST decision!
The Let’s Negotiate mobile app was designed to guide you through this four-step process:
1) Agree to keep the process pleasant and safe
2) Share perspectives
3) Brainstorm with abandon
4) Choose a solution with the Policy of Joint Agreement
Just a reminder: the Policy of Joint Agreement is to never do anything without a mutual enthusiastic agreement between you and your spouse. For more information about this process, please read He Wins, She Wins (2013, Harley, Revell).
So…let’s negotiate!
