During this episode, Greg Fuqua and Mona Kay talk about the different ways mixed neurotype couples can create more positive feelings for each other and how they can find ways to show more affection and appreciation in their relationship. The other topics discussed include:

Understanding your partners "owners manual", which includes their history, trauma, what they need for repair after conflict, their neurotype, love language, deficits, strengths, relational trauma and triggers.
The importance of reciprocity and mutuality.
Remembering that relationships require maintenance.
Engaging in small gestures that address each others needs and wants.
Preparation and negotiation are important in a mixed neurotype relationship.
When your "love tank" is empty it is very easy to have raw and hurtful experiences.
Understanding what leads to a culture of appreciation and reciprocity.
Healthy internalization rather then toxic externalization.
Talk about processes so both partners understand what happened.
Being romantic and vulnerable can feel "too much".
Alexythymia and love can create "short circuits".
Internalizing things can give very little space for interaction with your partner.
Being shamed for having intense feelings and how important it is to create safety in your relationship for sharing your feelings and emotions.
If you have positive thoughts about your partner...say it!
Own what's yours and understand your triggers.
Understand and take care of your hurt "parts" and wounds.
Take a pause when angry and start with an "I" statement and/or a statement of empathy.
