Opposites attract (allegedly), but what if you just don't have much in common? We're exploring differences with your partner in this episode -- having different hobbies and interests, when it's healthy, when your partner's hobby is a lifestyle (or an obsession) and you're not into it and vice versa, core values that should align for a solid relationship, and even how to discuss what's happening in...
