Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

By internalizing that responding with kindness is strength, not weakness.

By resolving to listen with curiosity rather than defensiveness.

By learning to validate what the other is feeling. “I can absolutely see why you feel this way.”

Is anal sex allowed in Islam? It's not written anywhere in the Quran whether it's forbidden or not.

By deciding to stop with the criticism and the nagging and instead say thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for loving me.

By giving up the notion that someone has to “win” or that anyone loses by saying “you are right”, “I am sorry”, or “I can do better.”
