Have Conflicting Needs? 5 Principles to Work Through This Together: Episode 171


Listen Later

Of course you know that you and your partner are not exactly the same. Yet, how often do you expect them to fulfill all of your needs? Or even how often you assume that they should just know or desire to meet your needs?

When you get to a place where you have conflicting needs, this can feel as if you have to sacrifice or be discouraged that your needs won't be met. When we asked on IG what some of the common conflicting needs for you were, we heard back:

  • Togetherness vs separateness
  • Physical touch vs quality time
  • Time to talk and connect at the end of the day vs quiet time to decompress after working a long day.
  • Working vs leading the kids and home

But there are ways, in this case you will hear 5 principles, so that you can work through your conflicting needs together and be sure that you do not have to sacrifice or give up on having your most important needs met in your relationship.
