There are a few psychological tactics that can be used to convince a romantic partner to make decisions that align with one's interests. Firstly, the "yes, but..." technique can be used to challenge the other person's thinking without making it feel like an attack. Secondly, appealing to the other person’s rational side by providing concrete evidence and logical arguments may help them see things from your perspective. Finally, employing persuasive language such as emotionally charged words and metaphors may help persuade your partner to see things your way.

There are certain psychological tactics that can be used to try and convince someone to make a decision that aligns with your interests. The most effective way is using positive reinforcement, which involves rewarding the other person for making choices you favor. Also, presenting appealing options as “compromise” situations can help the other person feel as though they are getting their way while allowing you to get what you want. Other mind-tricks include using authoritative language when speaking in order to set up a persuasive atmosphere, talking up the benefits of what you want them to do and downplaying alternatives, or even just ignoring their opposition in hopes that they will give in eventually. Everyone is different and unique so finding out what specifically works for your partner can require patience and experimentation.
