No one has to practice in order to react, that is a natural outcome with the proper stimuli. What we do have to 'practice' however, is patience, peace, and neutrality. These are So important in a relationship. It can certainly qualify as one of those make it/ break it types of things.
We all have propensities of character and behavior, but the question seems to be whether or not the people with their particular behavioral propensities can work together for the common peace, the common happiness, the common good? Are both people On the Same Page? Are both people wanting happiness and peace Just as much as the other??
There must be Space in the psyche, a buffer zone, if you will--taking it all in--Before there is response. If there is not this, reaction possibly illfated is probable. If both people Are on the same page then success is more likely because maybe the other will 'catch the reaction' and stop the run away train by responding peaceably. Let's face it, someone has to wisen up and see it for what it is ....a forfeiting of peace.
