We are addicted to the International House Hunter’s TV
show. We often have many shows backed up
on our DVR. I am always fascinated by
the interpersonal dynamics of the couple and sometimes the realtor. I don’t know if it is for dramatic purposes
or for real but the couple always seems to find something wrong with each house
but they pick one anyway. At the end of
the show they always seem very happy with their choice. On the United States
version they sometimes get a rejected bid but never on the International
version of the show. Houses often need
renovation but they don’t say what the renovations cost. What I really like and what I think applies
to mediation, is the process of elimination.
It is a good technique for making a decision. The couple is always limited to three
choices. It is better if there are not
too many options. The couple always says
“we must eliminate one of the three homes.”
It then makes it easier to pick between the remaining two homes. We try to do the same thing in divorce
mediation. Important to know the cost of
a divorce. Also, is not bad if everyone
is happy at the end!
