Charlie Shedd’s 7 Rules for a Good, Clean Fight

1. Before we begin we must both agree that the time is right.

2. We will remember that our only aim is deeper understanding.

3. We will check our weapons often to be sure they’re not deadly.

4. We will lower our voices one notch instead of raising them two.

5. We will never quarrel or reveal private matters in public.

6. We will discuss an armistice whenever either of us calls “halt.”

7. When we have come to terms, we will put it away till we both agree it needs more discussing.
