Accepting influence from each other benefits a marriage from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, PhD,Nan Silver

One of the key elements of a successful marriage is the ability to accept influence from each other. This means being open to your partner's opinions, ideas, and feelings, and taking them into consideration when making decisions. It involves a willingness to see things from your partner's perspective and make compromises for the greater good of the relationship. When both partners are able to accept influence from each other, it creates a sense of mutual respect and understanding in the relationship. It shows that both partners value each other's input and are willing to work together as a team. This fosters a sense of unity and partnership that is essential for a strong and lasting marriage. Accepting influence from each other also helps to prevent power struggles and conflicts in the relationship. When one partner is unwilling to consider the other's point of view, it can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration. On the other hand, when both partners are open to each other's influence, it creates a more harmonious and peaceful dynamic in the relationship. Additionally, accepting influence from each other allows for greater emotional connection and intimacy in the marriage. When both partners feel heard and understood, it deepens the emotional bond between them. This creates a sense of closeness and trust that is vital for a healthy and fulfilling marriage.

By being open to your partner's influence, you can strengthen your relationship and build a solid foundation for a lasting and loving marriage.
