Description

Introverts and Extroverts are two very different types of people. Which one are you? As you might have guessed, we’re both extroverts. But we’re married to introverts, which can sometimes be challenging. This week, we talk about how to embrace who you are and give some tips on how to integrate well with the opposites.

 

 

Listen’s Question:

Sometimes I feel like my husband and I are incompatible. I love to travel and spend time with girlfriends and he’s a homebody. He wants to stay home all the time. What should I do?

 

Small Group Questions:

 

To build connection with a friend or in your small group, ask each other these questions.

 

1.  Which members of your family are introverted and which ones are extroverted? How have you discovered that different people need different schedules and space?

 

2.  Do you ever feel pressure to conform to a certain personality type or pace of life? How do you often negotiate these situations?

 

3.  How might we encourage and appreciate both introverts and extroverts?

 

4.  In what ways are you and your partner or close friend similar and different in your hobbies, interests, and passions? How might you budget your time differently to make space to honor their hobbies, interests, or passions?
