We are just two VERY different people?! How do we live with THAT!? by Don Elium, LMFT

Through REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS.

In marriage, "accommodations" refer to the adjustments and compromises that partners make to support each other and maintain a satisfying relationship. This can involve adapting to each other's preferences, needs, and habits. It might include practical changes, like altering daily routines or sharing household responsibilities, as well as emotional adjustments, such as being more understanding and patient with each other’s differences.

Accommodations are often seen as essential for sustaining a healthy and balanced partnership. They help partners navigate conflicts, respect each other’s individuality, and build a robust and supportive connection. Three kinds of accommodations can happen in marriage.
