Let’s start with 9 problems you can help resolve. This is a mix-and-match list. Don’t
worry if the obstacle you favor assisting with isn’t listed or if they don’t seem very
exciting. That’s okay! Elizabeth views these obstacles as interpersonal conflicts, but
you may have a different lens. Make sure to view the video for a verbal explanation
of the rationale behind the problems listed below.
1. I don’t have (ex/current) spouse support on child-rearing
2. Serious differences in social/ethnic/religious/health/social class
3. Family vs extended family (time, energy, attention limitations)
4. Job stress getting in the way
5. Different energy to do life together
6. Planning vs being spontaneous
7. Fight about friends
8. Can’t relax together (too much tension)
9. Hate begging for needs/wants to be met
