If you feel that you and your other half are very different, do not be sad. This is just a reason for new joy. After all, people who differ from each other can perfectly complement each other, thereby increasing the strength of the union. The main thing is to balance the process.
Instructions
Step 1
The very first thing you need to do is take a sober view of the situation. Realize that you don't have to coincide with your partner in absolutely all traits, tastes and habits. All people are very different, and one must accept that what is good for one person is death for another. It is enough that you agree with your companion on the fundamental issues of the universe.
Step 2
If your partner bothers you, for example, by turning on the music loudly when you want to sleep, or by flicking the remote from channel to channel while you are planning to watch your favorite TV show, just talk to him. Try to use all your diplomatic skills and agree on what works for both of you.
Step 3
Talk more. Try to chat with your companion on a wide variety of topics. It could be the neighborhood scandal that happened last night, the adventures of your Home Alone cat, the behavior of the children, or even the weather. Try to touch on topics you've never talked about before. For example, start a discussion titled “What do you think about saving animals from mass destruction”, “What is your favorite color”, “What games did you love to play as a child,” “What are you dreaming about now,” or “What did you see last night in dream . Many people lack understanding, just because they don't speak much.
Step 4
Try to befriend your partner. Memories from childhood will tell you how this is done, when you exchanged candy wrappers with a neighbor on your desk, built sand castles with a girl from the apartment opposite and allowed a classmate to carry a portfolio. Ask about which book your partner would recommend you read, or which movie to watch, and then discuss these works of art. Arrange a joint event with the person you live with. This can be, for example, a family carpet cleaning, a picnic, or just a trip to the ice rink.
Step 5
Finally, remember: you were born to enjoy life and bring joy to other people, even if they are not at all like you. Not for some kind of service or gift, but just like that. For what they are.
