My wife and I discovered an unexpected method for making difficult decisions—one that has become a key to our happy marriage

When I was offered a dream job in new york city, it was an exciting but difficult decision. My wife and I had spent 30 years practicing intentional decision-making, and this was no exception. While I was ready for change, she loved her job and had no interest in moving from our home in new hampshire. Ater long discussions, I proposed a compromise—buying a hybrid car, commuting home every weekend, and staying connected daily. (Video: Getty Images)
