Growing pains are tough! Not just physically but also emotionally. Individuals never grow and evolve at the same speed or even in the same direction. When you are in a relationship how do you allow yourself and your partner the freedom of change without feeling like you are being left behind?  How do you keep these struggles from causing a rift in your relationship or worse, ending it entirely? We grew up together as children, teens, young adults and now a married couple pretending to have their shit together.  Trust us, we’ve struggled.
