Our life experiences change us. Let’s say you were both ambitious and driven as a young couple. Then, a difficult pregnancy caused one of the partners to prioritize motherhood over career. Or a near-death experience transformed the other partner into a more ‘live in the moment’ guy.
When a couple is not on the same page about their life goals, they can drift apart quickly. If you’re going through such a transformative experience, make sure your partner is aware and in agreement with your changing priorities.
They may find it hard to embrace this change. The onus of making them see things from your perspective is on you.
