Differences–Racial, Gender, Personality, and More

Posted by Elva 
· August 6, 2011 

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” This quote comes from Dave Meurer in “Daze of Our Wives.”

In my book, “Becoming Soul Mates–How to Create the Lifelong Relationship You Always Dreamed Of” you will find a chapter on how to make differences work for you. A difference can lead to conflict, but it doesn’t trigger conflict. Your attitude and feelings about the difference triggers the conflict. When you stop defending and start thinking, you can ask yourself, “What is going on for me? What can I learn from this about myself and about the other person?”

People behave in ways that make sense to them. Why does it make sense to your lover to talk, believe, or behave in this way? Agree to disagree and stay in each other’s corner, not blaming, but accepting and working toward understanding.
