The scientist is drawn to the artist because the artist reminds the scientist that the irrational is sacred.⁣
⁣
The introvert is drawn to the extrovert because the extrovert moves the introvert out of their comfort zone.⁣
⁣
The feeler is drawn to the thinker because the thinker shows the feeler that sometimes the shortest distance between two points is, in fact, a straight line.⁣
⁣
But during moments of frustration and stress...⁣
⁣
The scientist wishes the artist could just make a plan and stick to it.⁣
⁣
The introvert wishes the extrovert could just feel content at home.⁣
⁣
The feeler wishes the thinker could just let down and cry sometimes. ⁣
⁣
It is one of love’s unshakable truths: the ⁣
same quality that attracts us to a partner holds the power to repel us as well. This double-edged sword of differences is puzzling and irksome. But the hidden beauty is that this paradox reminds us:⁣
* To be humble. The complexities of love are to be navigated rather than solved.⁣
* To practice grace. When we can love multi-faceted truths about our partner, we can tolerate the same within ourselves. ⁣
Love grows us.⁣
⁣
Relational self-awareness questions for you:⁣
* What might be different for you if you could remember this paradox during a moment of frustration with your partner? ⁣
* How could you let your partner know that you are trying to hold onto both sides of this facet of who they are?⁣
* How might they feel if you could do that?⁣
* What is the double-edged sword of truth that your partner must hold about you?⁣
* What might be different for your partner if they could hold onto the fact that the same quality they love about you is also a source of frustration?⁣
* How could they let you know that they are trying to remember this?⁣
* What would it mean to you for them to convey that they hold you in this nuanced light?⁣

Is your partner driving you bonkers lately? 🤪 You're not alone. Being in social isolation with the same person for an extended period of time can test even the HEALTHIEST of couples.

Books about mental and behavioral health issues I recommend, as well as other products on Amazon.
