My wife and I look forward to summer so much, except when it comes time to planning a summer vacation. I am a huge beach fan. I can sit on the beach under an umbrella for the entire day. My wife hates the sun and the feel of sand in her shoes and in her bathing suit. Do I have to give up my beach vacations?
So here is the ground rule for a lifelong relationship: no one gets their way 100% of the time.
Think middle ground. Think overlap.
Options in vacationing don’t have to be extreme, one-or-the-other choices. Think of ways you can enjoy having a partial beach vacation and pair that with a non-beach activity or situation.
Life isn’t all or nothing.
Reality lives in the middle.
