Description

'Understanding Our Differences' (Session #5) helps engaged couples to both identify and appreciate their spouse's differences and how to handle conflict that arises.

We have discussed decision making and ways to resolving conflict, but it is helpful to realize why one's spouse might have differing opinions. After all, if the couple is going to have a successful marriage, then they need to learn to appreciate and positively look at their fiancee.

By understanding differences between male/female, personalities, gifts and varying backgrounds, one can better appreciate why their mate is so different from them.

Some Counselors

Some counselors prefer to use more expensive and sophisticated tests. I have found that so much time and money can be used that the whole point of the session can be missed. Emphasize the way one gains appreciation of each other. I want to them feel that they cannot do without each other. (That was the reason to record Adam's naming of the animals).

Their commitment to their mate will work together with the realization how their to-be spouse so wonderfully meets their need and helps spurt them forward into better knowing each other. Some feel more comfortable with more sophisticated testing devices. If so, use them!...
