The first point that Peterson makes (and reitirates throughout the chapter) is that making a great relationship takes practice and time. So, in 14 points, here is a condensed version of Peterson’s Rule X: But as you will see, there’s more to it than that, in terms of what practically one has to do in order to keep the doors of communication open. The theme is: romantic relationships can be chaotic, so how do we adapt to keep the romance afloat? The simple answer is through communicating. In this rule about romance, Peterson touches on a variety of topics that I have summarized and amalgamated below into 14 simple points. I’m going to jump give a summary here of Rule X, which I find is most relevant for our G & J Show: “Plan and Work Diligently to Maintain the Romance in Your Relationship.” We need rules to help us adapt and thrive to whatever life has to offer. And like the weather, we need to predict and prepare for the best and the worst in our lives. The chaos of our life is like the weather, every day it’s new and every day we have to adjust to things outside of our control. Chaos-or anything unpredictable-is not something we can actually eliminate, nor is it something we can completely predict or control. In his second book, Beyond Order, Peterson offers advice for managing the unexpected in our lives. They are, as the titles tell, the ying and yang of each other, warning us of the two extremes we can fall into: disordered living or stifling order. I was really excited when Gerhard surprised me with a copy of Jordan Peterson’s newest book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life-which is the companion to his 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.
