Being a united front in a relationship is key. Tackling problems as a team. Working to make collaborative decisions. Listening to each other’s points of view before moving forward. All really important relationship characteristics.

But united doesn’t mean identical.

The two of you can be a united front AND still approach problems differently.

The two of you can be united on issues AND still want to communicate through them differently.

The two of you are unique individuals which means that you are not going to be identical in how you think, how you feel, or how you handle things.

The faster the two of you can accept (and appreciate) that united doesn’t mean identical, the faster the two of you can use your differences as assets.

You got this!

Until next week,
