True Azimuth, LLC: Business Coaching & Personal Coaching

Loved this book, read it once before he passed and once after he passed. Such a testament for living!...and so sad.

So what can one do when a partner/spouse loves to have things -- colors and shapes -- around that you don't love, even stronger, that feel heavy and dark?

Are not differences in a relationship the diversity that makes it interesting? What needs to happen in situations with differences is discussion, cooperation, acceptance, tolerance, flexibility and negotiation. THESE REALLY WORK. I am in relationship with a pack-and-a-half-a-day cigarette smoking, 48-ounce-coke-drinking, meat-eater. (I, by the... See More way, am none of this things). Would I prefer him to stop? Yes. Have we negotiated ways to make our relationship work for these past 22 years? Yes.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Scott. Differences R Us, ain't it true. Your sharing puts things in better perspective for me. :-)
