I haven’t met anyone who didn’t admit to moments of annoyance with their spouse; no one is perfect and no marriage is perfect. And yet, some couples are generally happy...and others are less happy or unhappy. As I analyzed why this might be, the thing that popped up, again and again, were personality differences. Every couple had them. And every couple contended with them. Yet, for some couples, the struggle led to an enlightening, happy marriage…while others were stuck in a perpetual state of frustration, suffering in darkness. I was extremely curious, what was the secret to accessing this marital ‘light switch’?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy search for an answer led to years of study and eventually to a research project; I surveyed hundreds of married people and personally interviewed tens of married and divorced people in eight different countries. The results were both fascinating and inspiring. Across the globe, despite differences in religion, language and culture, couples in good marriages used similar tools for making their personality differences work in their marriage. And – the successful couples actually came to see their personality differences as good, necessary and beneficial. This finding matched the experience I had with couples in my clinic: With the right perspective, personality differences really are a gift for a marriage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe premise of this book is: Even though we often marry someone who is similar to us in many ways (similar values, lifestyle, etc.), we’re also naturally attracted to someone who possesses significant differences. These differences hold a tremendous power of connection – if we can use them correctly. Without the proper emotional tools and the right mindset, however, these very differences can create a disconnect or even wreak havoc in a marriage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe three most common personality differences I found in my research were:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntrovert – Extrovert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpender – Saver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrganized – Disorganized\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTherefore, I will reference these three typical types of personality differences often throughout this book.
