Even though two people are in relationship it does not mean they would define the game in the same way or even define winning in the same way. As for the humility part, what I found was most valuable for me was learning and practicing how to remain calm. Removing my emotional hot buttons went a long way toward achieving this. By removing the emotional reactions it is much easier to be calm and humble. Hugs, Jacque Hi Michael,

You can lose a lot of pieces in checkers, and hang in there - somehow get a piece "kinged" and turn around and clobber your opponent. Not that I want to encourage obliterating people, but my point is that if it's a game, you're never out of it. And in my work, it is about teaching people to find the winning moves in their toughest relationships - which requires a lot of humility to play.
