Finding appreciation for your differences in relationship.

☕️ My husband brings me coffee in bed every morning and I read him to sleep at night. 📚
.
He is an early bird and I am a nightingale and we have both spent a lot of time upset, feeling abandoned by the other for their being asleep when we want to play.
.
It’s so easy to be upset that your partner is different than you, that you have different habits, rituals and ways of being. Maybe you are complete opposites... Or it just feels like it sometimes.
.
Being willing to accept your partner as they are can change everything. It will allow you to find appreciation for them, for their weird or “wrong” ways, appreciation for the whole situation. And eventually be grateful for your differences. What new wonderful things they bring into your life that would not be there without their differences.

What could you be willing to accept about your partner now? .
