having different needs

last night I chatted with my Aunt about her relationship with her husband, and she talked about how they have different needs.

they have to negotiate activities because they're not always on the same page. I thought it was really cool to hear about that.

I am learning to apply that idea to my own relationship rather than just react in a me or you attitude or reaction.

The idea makes more room for both people I think and allows for room for growth.
