Episode 2031:
Evan Marc Katz's article, "Men Don’t Like the Word No, So Why Say It?", explores the idea that being easygoing is a highly desirable trait in relationships. He argues that saying 'yes' more often and being less rigid about preferences can lead to a more harmonious relationship. While acknowledging the importance of standing firm in crucial matters, Katz suggests that flexibility in less significant areas can significantly enhance a partnership. He contrasts the experiences of his wife, who often agrees to his requests, with a client who has many rules, illustrating how being agreeable can make a relationship smoother. However, it's vital to maintain a balance where both partners' needs are met without losing individual identities.
