Word count:
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
Book review: Things I wish I'd known before we got Married
The answer to this personality difference lies in understanding and accepting the differences, and not condemning each other for being who they are.
They must then negotiate a method of honoring each other’s personality. One such plan may be to agree on a dollar amount that the couple would have in secure investments before the optimist would engage in high-risk investments. Once this minimum level of investments is in place, they could agree on a dollar amount that he could invest in a higher-risk investment with the understanding that if he lost it all, she would not condemn him. On the other hand, if the investment is successful, she commends him for his investment skills and together they celebrate their financial success.
If a courting couple is willing to negotiate these kinds of arrangements before they get married, they will save themselves many unnecessary arguments over how they will handle the finances. The same principle is true in scores of other areas in which the pessimist and the optimist are likely to have very different views about the action that should be taken.
Understanding, accepting, and negotiating personality differences are essential in building a foundation for a healthy marriage.
