228: How to Find a Relationship Match

Send us Fan Mail **How to Find a Relationship  Match** Have you ever found yourself wishing someone would want the same things you do? In this episode, we’re talking about **“want matches” in relationships**—what happens when two people want different things and why that doesn’t have to mean something is wrong with either person. Using the simple analogy of the card game *Go Fish*, MaryAnn explores how getting clear about your wants can help you find the right people to meet those needs instead of trying to convince someone to become the person you wish they were. **In this episode, you’ll learn:** - What a “want match” is and why it matters - How to identify what you actually want in your relationships - Why someone not wanting the same thing doesn’t mean you aren’t valuable - How trying to change someone can create resentment and conflict - Why healthy relationships don’t require one person to meet every need - How to find people who naturally share your interests, values, and desires **Your challenge this week:** Get clear about one thing you want in a relationship. Then ask yourself: *Who already wants this too?* Instead of trying to change someone, look for your match.
