Dan and Stephanie talk about the power of love today! In this episode airing on Valentine's day, we talk about a subject of interest and pain to many listeners- navigating holidays and special days in a neurodiverse relationship.
We take a look at 1 Corinthians 13 and talk through why days that are meant to celebrate love and romance are challenging for NDCC.
Stephanie and Dan share some practical tips and advice on how they have navigated the differences and come to collaborative approaches that work for both.
Stephanie references a book she likes for her couples:

I suggest getting two copies and each person be very clear and concrete on the assessment.
Start with 7-10, work up to 4-6, then work on 1-3. Until both people are consistent on 7-10 try not to level up too quickly- you set up for disappointment. Pick a day like Jan 1- the new year and reassess and make a new list. Needs change over the course of the marriage and what would be needed today may not be next year. So check it out!
