Out of step

You both want the wheel. The tug-of-war can be a thrill, but without practice at yielding it becomes nightly friction.

💡Decide who drives tonight before it starts, and the friction turns into a game.

One of you has already arrived while the other hasn't started. This speed gap is the biggest fault line there is.

💡The fast one slowing 30% is easier than the slow one speeding up. Match pace at the start, at least.

One burns on instinct, one on feeling. You'll be negotiating which register to lean toward every time.

💡Warm up at the tender pace, then hand the second half to the heat. Deciding the order ends the negotiation.

Two explorers. Something is new every time; boredom is not in the vocabulary.

💡Don't turn novelty into a competition. 'Let's do the one we loved' takes courage too.
