Honey, Are You Listening?
by Dr. Rick Fowler
ADHD AND MARRIAGE
Are these scenes familiar?
-
You’re moving. You make a list and start packing
room by room. Your spouse scrounges some boxes out of
the garage and starts throwing things into them at random.
-
You and your partner have a big argument. Hours later,
you are still hurt and fuming. He traipses back in as
if nothing ever happened, all cheerful and ready for romance.
Dr. Rick Fowler, a Christian counselor, has Attention Deficit
Disorder. It is a difference in the way the brain handles
information. While most people think in a one-thing–
at-a-time way, ADD people take in everything at once. Sometimes
they overlook the trees because they see the forest. This
can be frustrating for a non-ADD partner who doesn’t
understand the ADD thought process. However, since communication
is one area where people with ADD shine, it is well worth
learning a few special skills so that you and your ADD spouse
can understand each other.
Rick and Jerilyn, his wife of over 36 years, share proven
and practical tips for dealing with the sometimes exasperating
traits of an ADD partner. Also, they share insights into how
they raised their son, Chip, who takes after his ADD father.
They show you how to turn those unique ADD qualities into
benefits that will lead to a more intimate, satisfying family
relationship.
