问题  
W: Hi, Jerry, I find it difficult to solve disputes between lovers.
M: It’s easy; the truth of love is that one must master the art of losing.
W: Isn’t "win-win" solution useful in love or marriage?
M: I don’t think so, success in marriage resides more in "lose-lose" solutions.
W: I cannot imagine the "lose-lose " solutions will be helpful.
M: Yes, take mine as an example, one day our tastes of picking new living-room wall-paper were at odds.
W: Who gave up to another?
M: Both. We changed our way. There are over two hundred samples, we should spend our energy finding one that suits us both, instead of quarreling over the ones we don’t like.
W: That’s the way. Eventually you both can be satisfied.
M: The "wallpaper book" became our symbol for settling the issues in marriage.
W: But I run the relationship with a mess. We argue over how to spend money and who is going to be in control.
M: Yes, that’s true. We also had experienced that, when I was young my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity.
W: But giving up control is often confused with weakness.
M: The winner in a domestic argument is never really the winner.
W: What is it we want most from a marriage? To love and be loved. To be happy and secure.
M: If you want to feel loved and respected, give up control. And if you want to win arguments at home, learn to lose them. A love relation is the garden in which we plant, cultivate and harvest.
