S1E5: Differences

Our differences aren’t good or bad, they’re just different

Differences aren’t good or bad. Differences aren’t wrong, they’re just different.

Often when we first meet and start spending time together as a couple we are drawn to each other for our quirks and differences. When we’ve spent some time together, however, we can often fall into the trap of wanting to change the other person to be more like us.

A lot of conflicts occurs in marriage because of our differences, but when we learn to celebrate each other for what we bring to the relationship, our marriage becomes a place where we can thrive.

In this episode, we discuss some of the ways we can be different and a few ideas on how we can learn to cultivate an appreciation for one another.
