Summary

Have you ever worried that you and your partner are just too different? If so, you're not alone. In fact, all couples need to find common ground around their differences. It's simply the relationship experience: We're not married to ourselves. We're with someone who is a unique individual with their own needs, feelings, hopes and dreams -- many of which may be different from our own. That's not just okay, it's completely normal. Where couples run into trouble is when they get "polarized," or entrenched in extreme positions on an issue. Things become black and white, and power struggles or arguments ensue. On today's episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast I'll be showing you the way back to connection.

1:18.2	areas. I am a licensed marriage counselor. I'm also trained as a psychologist and I'm a board
1:25.6	certified life coach. So I have three different facets of my practice and
1:31.8	areas in which I try to help people. Hence the love happiness and success podcast. And so the reason
1:39.6	that I started doing this is because I just love this stuff. I'm kind of a psychology nerd and

2:08.3	of connecting with people because a long time ago I realized you know I am only going to be able
