    YMM 188 I Am NOT the Enemy ... The Power of Solving Problems As A Team!

    Problems, struggles, and conflict are signs of a healthy relationship! Two imperfect people working to build a life together in an imperfect world are bound to face struggles. This is due to the mere fact that they: Are male and female Grew up in different households Have different personality styles Have different views on sex, money, household roles and responsibilities, parenting, and a dozen other subjects. All of this, and more, means there will be conflict! What matters is how we handle it!!! This entire month, we will be following the theme of "I Am NOT the Enemy" (thanks Ben and Megan Coleman) and looking closely at effective strategies and mindsets for turning the inevitable differences we are going to have into a strength in our relationships! Knowing we have each other's backs and that we will process struggles in a positive and healthy way builds confidence in ourselves and in each other! It isn't easy but it is well worth it!
