We often hear that “opposites attract,” and they certainly can…but do opposites make you compatible for the long-haul? Today we’ll be discussing just how similar you ought to be - and what specifically you should have in common - for your relationship to work and for the two of you to potentially build a life together. We’ll also explore the benefits of differences, and how much a relationship can be improved by differences between partners. 

Mentioned in today’s episode:

Quit Kissing Frogs episode #05: Deal-Breakers & Deal-Makers

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Our core values are what make up the matrix of our being. They are deeper than just thoughts or opinions, and our core values typically don’t change with the wind. 
• It takes effort, but it is possible to navigate to the goodness of the person and see that both people are usually trying to do what they think is good for the world. 
• Yes, it is very, very difficult for two people who have diverging core values to be in an intimate relationship. 
• Lisa and Benjamin talk about their shared core values- one being that neither wanted children. But what would it look like if someone changed their mind? 
• Opposites don’t always attract. Sometimes being on the same page is the best way to be when it comes down to these very big, personal, and divisive issues. 
• Being the Guardian of someone’s Soul doesn’t mean you give up your life to live theirs. 
• What should you do when the differing opinions are so big that it just seems unfixable?

Mentioned:

Quotes

• “I think the difference is that in a lot of dating books, they say to get the ring and the relationship will follow. And it's just the opposite. It's having that relationship and getting the ring.” - Benjamin 
• “Core values are really what make up the matrix of our being.” - Benjamin
• “I think it's always possible to navigate to the goodness of the other person and to have the idea that both people, even on either end of the spectrum, have the same goal. Which is to do good in the world, and hopefully leave it a better place.” - Benjamin
• “It would be very, very difficult for two people who have diverging core values to be in an intimate relationship.” - Benjamin 
• “Being the guardian of someone's soul also means that the other person deeply wants to be the Guardian of Your Soul. So it's that mutual connection, we never want to live someone else's dream.” - Lisa 
• “I don't think that opposites attract. I think having two people that have both feet in the world and are on the same page is the best combination of all.” - Lisa

This Month on No Smut Shaming:
Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans

A scruffy tattooed hunk gets paired with an ultra educated book worm for chance to win 
One. Million. Dollars.  on a new reality show.

The Catch?

They have to get married on the first day of shooting.

Tune in for Kristen's  Big News!  And to hear about Cristal attending prom....at 40.  

Cayden Eldridge grew up on the East Coast, just outside Washington, DC. He was raised by a Chilean mother and an American father. Annual visits to Chile where he spent time with his nine aunts and uncles and thirty-five first cousins made a huge impact on his life. Today Cayden lives in Lafayette, CO and works in IT. He has just come out of an eight year relationship and for the first time is exploring life as a single man. 

I got to know Cayden during the Boulder County fires in December of 2021. He was my downstairs neighbor and I was the only one living at my friend Laura’s house. We spent hours together on the sofa, waiting to be evacuated. During these endless hours, we bonded and talked about life and love, soon realizing how similar our relationship dynamics were. 

Just like my husband Pata, Cayden was raised in a very traditional latino way. His mother catered to him. His ex-partner Betty and I, on the other hand, were raised to be independent and take on chores at a very young age. Pata and Cayden bring a calm and grounded energy. They can go with the flow, get things done in their own way and are not hard on themselves or us. Betty and I are a bit more like fire. We love our independence, prefer to be in control and need our alone time. While perfectionism can drive us (at times to insanity), this word does not really exist in their vocabulary. 

Opposites attract and can bring so much beauty and growth, they can also create challenges. Sharing stories and moments about our relationships, helped us both understand ‘the other side’ without the charged emotion that can weigh on a romantic relationship. Any loving and passionate partnership will be work. And communication is the only way through. The trick is finding the right words and the right time. 

“Humans aren’t easy.”

Family Life Canada directors, Neil and Sharol Josephson, help spouses understand and appreciate our differences. They say that every couple is incompatible in some ways… but successful couples have learned to be “happily incompatible.” And the A Better Us “kitchen couples” bring their own perspectives on this interesting topic.

• The opposites who must attract in sales and marketing.
• The opposites who must attract in sales and service.

HOT SEX SCENES AHEAD! Guys, we could not stop talking about the smoking hot sex scenes between our main characters. Tia Louise sure know how to write 'em! Before we deep dive into the story, listen to Juliette discuss some Game of Thrones news that they are really excited about if the length of this chit chat is anything to go by (00:53). Get to know the characters, setting, and tropes during their spoiler-free discussion of When We Kiss (8:32). Spoiler Section:  Juliette and Jessen compete in a Showdown where they each offer up their favorite scene to see which one reigns supreme (11:42). Then, take a deep dive into all the SPOILERY details of this awesome opposites attract romance (16:12).

The old adage is, “Opposites attract.”

Statistics show that most people marry someone that is opposite to them even though most of our friends are more like us.  Maybe we just like the challenge.  Maybe we are intrigued by someone we are not and innately we want to feed off of their different personality and way of thinking.

On the other hand, the moment it sinks in that you and your spouse have less in common than you thought it can get uncomfortable.  And for some of us, it can lead us to a point where we start to wonder whether or not this will work.  Can we really function well together when we have so many differences?  

How do we approach our marriage when we come at it from two totally different perspectives? 

In this episode you will hear where Griffin and Heather aren't necessarily compatible with one another.  And they will share three ways to use your differences to actually build a stronger marriage. 

Thank you for taking this journey with us!  We hope to strengthen your marriage one conversation at a time.  And don't forget to check out more resources at RealMarriagePodcast.com!
