A cooperator is ideal: the person who will work with you, try and solve a problem, come up with a constructive solution, not engage in the emotional, psychological, or legal wars, and just work it out. And that doesn't mean the issues are easy, but if people roll up their sleeves and cooperate with each other, problems can be solved. You can turn your spouse into a cooperator if you cooperate, if you wear the right hat, and if your spouse has the potential for being a cooperator. Not everybody does. And if you try too hard to get your spouse to be a cooperator, and he or she cannot be, you can be trounced.
