Hello and welcome back to the Naked Marriage Podcast. We are Dave and Ashley

Willis and on this podcast we address the truth about sex, intimacy, and

lifelong love and we are going to talk about another marriage myth

because there are a lot of them and the one we're talking about today is one that

I think can create a lot of frustration and so Dave's going to share it with us.

Yes and it is that as a married couple we have to share all the same interests

or maybe another variation of that myth is truly perfect compatible couples share all the same interests.

And so the fact that we don't means that we're doing something wrong or that we married the wrong person and we just wanted to

spell that myth today to talk about ways that you and your spouse can share more

interest because that is good when you can have some overlap in your in your hobbies and in the time you spend together.

But how you're always going to have some differences in distinctions because God made you different.

And he wants you to be one in marriage but like we say a lot

unity does not mean uniformity you can be unified and yet completely

distinct having your own opinions personalities preferences

and still be unified around those principles that matter most.

And so in just really practical ways, we're going to talk about what that looks like,

talk about how to celebrate each other's differences,

while cultivating more opportunities to share and appreciate each other's differences,

and we'll share some fun stories along the way too.

We will, and you guys, I mean it makes me smile, we've been married at the time of this recording

23 years and so you know we've had we've had a lot of time to learn more about each other

in what we have you know similar similarities, but also many of our differences.
