Answer to Question 1
The key to successful negotiations is to recognize that it is a normal part of maintaining intimate relationships. When we think of negotiations we often think of two lawyers with briefcases sitting across from each other at a large conference table. However, in everyday life the process consists of a periodic series of ongoing informal exchanges. If each party engages in clean communication; the parties both express their wants, needs, and interests; they maintain a flexible attitude; and they search for similarities and common ground; then the chances for them to reach a mutually satisfying outcome are high.

The four parts are (1) observations (i.e., neutral statements of fact like it rained yesterday), (2) thoughts (i.e., I statements about one's personal understandings such as My idea is.... or I was wondering about.... or The way it seemed to me was.... and so forth), (3) feelings (i.e., I statements that identify one's emotions such as for example, I feel frustrated or I am excited), and (4) needs, desires, and wants (i.e., I statements such as I want to feel closer to you or I need some relief from all this stress, etc.).
