Growing Apart From Your Partner

Why are so many couples growing apart?⁠
⁠
It comes down to two things:⁠
⁠
1. Personal growth⁠
⁠
Am I growing and developing as an individual? ⁠
What am I learning, what is stretching me? ⁠
Or am I just coasting? ⁠
⁠
Don’t let your frustration of stagnation or stress get between you and your partner, own your crap. ⁠
⁠
I noticed this personally: when business was great, the relationship was great, when business was crap, I came home with it – not good.⁠
⁠
2. Growth as a couple⁠
⁠
If we ARE doing step number one, congrats, you’re already doing more than 90% of people. ⁠
⁠
BUT, it’s not enough if you want to be happy – plenty of people are rich and lonely.⁠
⁠
As people grow, it’s very easy to grow apart, simply because we take different paths. ⁠
⁠
I’m in the Online and F-2-F Coaching world, and my lovely wife is in the Healthcare world – similar but at different ends of the health scale.⁠
⁠
These differences can break you if you don’t feel like they “get you” anymore. ⁠
⁠
But sometimes it simply comes down to different ways of getting there. One person takes the push bike, and the other prefers to walk.⁠
⁠
But if you’re working towards the same thing, you’re all ok.⁠
⁠
That’s the key… are you working towards the same thing? ⁠
 

What do YOU want? What do THEY want? ⁠
