I'm doing some training for work. It is all about how to operate on a team. How to act in relation with other people.
One of the things I am realizing is that professionals have to practice being very sensitive, open-minded and tolerant in ways that non-professionals don't.
How do you think this plays out even in personal relationships? Do you feel that being married to a professional that you will have more civil discourses than if you are married to a non-professional?
I feel that professions will have better conflict-resolution and problem solving skills. This doesn't mean that every professional will have these skills and every non-professional won't. But nevertheless, as rule of thumb, I feel it's true.

We can't really generalize on these stuffs. However, in most of the cases professional might have better problem solving techniques.
I personally feel that being a professional will broaden your mind to see an aspect, it's pros and cons, consequences and to weigh the validity of different issues.
We might have different exception and we dont want to go there ( at least deviating from this original thread).
For ex: when I am driving a car, I can see a very professional couple in their car keeping very quite. For them , most of the things should be near to perfect.
However, in similar circumstances a non-professional couple might fight/discuss/giggle/flirt with each other while driving too ( just an example). I feel that, to be in a relationship, both the sexes should be vocal/communicative/expressive/flirt/fun etc.
I think I should stop writing. Am i going away from the main topic here?

You bring up a good point. And I was thinking about that.
Will a couple who are both professionals, have better communication and problem solving ability in their marriage and relationship compared to a couple who are not working as professionals?
It's an odd question in one sense. Love should make a marriage become strong, not your degree of 'professionality.' And yet, I would think that your diplomacy skills and open-mindedness and problem solving ability should translate into your personal relatoinships too, no?

Just to add another point:
Sometimes when you are a professional you think toooooooooo much. Hence, you lack the fun/excitement of spontaneity. I think Love should be unconditional/spontaneous.
While on the other hand, in order to save a relationship, and make it for a long-run or w/e, you should think twice or more than that. You should think from your perspective, from her perspective, from our perspective etc.
These stuffs/topic are always interesting and debatable. We cant really conclude on concrete golden words. If we are in a relationehip we are going to face it anyways and deal with it accordingly. For ex - decide what is right/wrong on that moment ( can be spontaneous, thoughtful etc). There should be a balance for everything anyways.

True,
In many ways my question comes from seeing my friends interact.
I have been observing a couple operate who are non-professionals. And they take everything in their interaction so "personally." It's like they have no 'professionality' in being able to distance themselves from their issues and solve them in a rational way.
I couldn't help but think that if they were both professionals, they would have a lot more ability to rationally deal with the issue.
Having said that, I know that this is not completely true. I have other friends who are senior managers. And if you ever saw them interact in their personal life, you would never think so :-) But that is the beauty of our personal life right? We let our guard down and wear our hearts on our sleaves.
