Which type of repair includes consideration of the other partner's side of an issue?

The correct choice is compromising because it involves acknowledging both partners' perspectives and working toward a solution that satisfies both sides. When a couple engages in compromise, they focus on balancing their desires and concerns in a way that respects each individual's needs. This does not merely involve one partner yielding to the other but rather a collaborative approach to find common ground.

In a successful compromise, partners demonstrate empathy and actively listen to each other, which fosters mutual understanding and respect. This aligns with Gottman's principles of fostering healthy communication and connection between partners. Humor, while it can serve as a repair tool, does not inherently require consideration of the issue at hand from both partners’ viewpoints. Monitoring discussion focuses on managing the conversation rather than resolving it. A request for direction is more about seeking guidance than ensuring that both parties' positions are integrated into the resolution process.
