So if you have a partner who seems to be on the opposite side of the spectrum, don't panic.

Challenge your assumptions.

Get creative.

Look for the middle ground.

Yes, there is middle ground here.

For example, maybe you would really love a family, but you're really worried about your finances.

Have you considered having just one child?

I mean, the question is usually, so you're going to have kids?

The plural is assumed, right?

The first one's got to have a buddy or else.

But why do you feel that way exactly?

Another big part of this is when two people want different things.

Very often the assumption is this is a zero-sum game, right?

Either yes, we're doing this, no, we're not, and if we can't decide, we have to break up.

Can we talk a little bit about what that process is, if that's true or not?

Let's get more specific about that.

So, for example, in that four and eight scenario, maybe that four person who's child-free says, I'm leaning towards child-free because I want to travel some more.

You know, I've never seen Spain.

I've never seen Asia.

And the person says, I've always seen myself as a mother.
