Summary
If you haven't said this yourself, you've at least seen these "love" posts go around: "I accept all of you" or "there is nothing you could do for me to stop loving you"! While this is a great sentiment, the majority of people only know what half of this declaration really means.
Of course this is a great intent to accept your partner, but there is one major area that, if you are not prepared for, will come as a huge disappointment and upset for you in the future.
There are easier areas to accept about your partner because you can see them now, however Emotional Triggers of your partner are aspects that you MUST accept about your partner if you want to face challenges as a team. These individual and unique triggers are not something you see in the beginning, so they can catch you off guard if you are not prepared to accept them too.

| 0:25.4 | Do you understand your partner's emotional triggers? |
| 0:29.8 | And I think everyone listening is getting a sense of where these topics come from. |
| 0:33.3 | But Jocelyn, where are we getting this topic today? |
| 0:35.7 | You know, we either take things from our own life and or from coaching calls, workshops, et cetera. |
| 0:42.9 | And this topic came from two coaching calls we had at the end of last week. |
| 0:47.4 | And of course, we always keep names private. |
| 0:49.4 | That's really important to us. |
