Consideration is so important! And it goes both ways.

He considers how much cleanup matters to her, how hard it is for her to enjoy any play before the place is clean (to her standard). At least some of the time.

She can consider the opportunity he offers her to choose him, and their togetherness, over the cleanup. At least some of the time.

Both can practice putting the relationship over being right, or getting things their way.

Thank you kindly for your insight and suggestions Matthew. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your well thought out, anecdotal responses to our questions. Although it is typically based on your narrative and your personal experience, it is still very useful to learn which of those experiences we "share" as a collective audience. I believe your method of sharing your past and sprinkling in the wisdom you gained, translates into new & better experiences to guide us going forward. Thank you, thank you :)
