These days, it can be so difficult to discuss politics and religion.

Often, people tell me they just avoid those conversations.  And honestly, I get it.

However, if we're invested in co-creating a relationship with someone we care about, exploring places where we hold different opinions and beliefs can be exactly the place where we build intimacy.
