Opposites attract.
Couples should expect that differences will be more of the norm. But for some strange reason, differences seem to take the wind out their sails.
The conversations in the head goes something like this… “It wasn’t like this at all when we were dating. We did everything together. I don’t understand how we got to this point.”
When you are going after what you want, it’s easier to see only what you want. But once you get what you want, the true colors shine brighter; the differences.
Differences are a gift to a relationship.
Think about how boring it would be to do and like everything that your spouse does. “Same ole, same ole” would be your daily tune.
Instead of complaining and whining about how your spouse doesn’t like or approve or even want to go along with your suggestions, embrace the differences.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the differences!
Differences can be polarizing. Yet when your focus is not on the difference but the heart from which it comes, the acceptance of the difference becomes tolerable.
You and your spouse have differences that need to be shared and embraced.
So how do you embrace differences?
- Celebrate the differences. Instead of attacking your spouse with negative and condescending reactions, be on the offensive. This allows you to expose the strength of your partner.
- Play on the same team. Value what your spouse has to say even if you don’t agree.
- Find the common ground. When two people have differences, commonalities can still be found. But you have to open your eyes and your heart.
“Strengthen your relationship; embrace your differences!“
