Adapting to Change

Relationships and people must evolve and grow. Events in your lives will ultimately impact your relationship. Whether it's buying a new home, changing jobs or having a baby, these events will cause you to make changes to your routine and those changes will trickle down onto your relationship. Allow yourself and your partner room to adapt to these changes. Make accommodations for one another as you work together to make a new routine that will work for you individually as well as a couple. If you find that the new routine isn't working for you, speak up! Don't allow the routine to become so engrained that you become resentful.

By making such allowances and accommodations, you and your partner can grow together as time and changes evolve.

I was unable to schedule my job change, home change or baby. Funny thing is all 3 major relationship changes in our life happened abruptly and we werent prepared for it. Keeping our communication channels always open and up and solving glitches every now and then helped us cope.
