In this short monologue, Dr. Marcy Cole emphasizes that people and their relationships evolve over time, so the person you meet on a first date will not be the same after years together. She urges partners to stay curious about each other's current desires, dreams, fears, challenges, and excitements. By continuously asking open‑ended questions and tolerating change, couples can better anticipate each other's needs. Cole stresses that disagreements are inevitable, but rather than adopting a win‑lose, "I'm right, you're wrong" stance, partners should aim for win‑win, middle‑ground solutions that respect both perspectives. The overall message is that embracing inevitable change through curiosity, open communication, and collaborative compromise leads to healthier, more conscious co‑parenting and relationships.

Chapters

Who we met on the first date is not who we're with a year later or 10 years later. Who are you today? Boy, sweetheart, what are your desires here? What are your dreams? What are you thinking about? What are you envisioning? What are you challenged by? What are you afraid of? What are you excited about? Right? Staying curious about each other, anticipating and tolerating and accepting and embracing change, which is inevitable. You're not always gonna agree. You're not always gonna be on the same page and finding the middle ground, finding a way that's A win-win or a yes-yes versus a I'm right, you're wrong, win-lose scenario. That for sure does not work.
