ADHD & Marriage News – July 15, 2024
Quote of the Week
“Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.”
– Desmond Tutu
Our Differences are Our Strengths
Humans are, I think, inherently tribal. ‘Same tribe’ feels comfortable and easy. And yet, there are so many times when diversity of thought and approach are superior:
- Parents with different approaches (often based in gender) nurture children who are more flexible thinkers
- Brainstorming a business problem allows the benefit of a wider range of ideas and approaches
- Hunters and gatherers allow a broader array of nutritional options than just one or the other
- ‘Mixed’ ADHD and non-ADHD couples who are not struggling can benefit from a wonderful mix of energy, creativity and directed purpose
What might happen in your relationship if, rather than bemoan your different ways of being, you celebrated how you fill each other’s gaps? And…thinking generously and lovingly…how DO you complement each other?
