I brush and floss really well. Honest, I do! Great question. I can imagine you at the sink in the morning, egg timer set on two minutes, diligently cleaning your teeth, surface by surface, with your late model electric toothbrush. You pull out a length of floss and, with perfect technique, clean between every tooth. Finally, a rinse and spit of some neon-coloured liquid that makes your eyes water a little. A wink at yourself in the mirror and off you go to start the day, knowing you'll be back 14-16 hours later to do it all again that night. You are an oral hygiene high achiever and you are officially eligible to pick out any Frozen™ sticker you would like at my office. The truth is, however, even the best can miss a teensy little bit of plaque (the soft stuff that gets on your teeth after meals). If that plaque gets missed, it only takes a few days for it to start hardening onto the surface of the tooth. Once hardened, it takes on a new identity as tartar. Tartar is rougher than enamel and can retain more plaque. Then that plaque transforms into more of the tenacious 'T'. Your home tools are no match for the hard stuff but fortunately your dental hygienist has just the thing. Sit back and let them gently remove it with their specialized instruments at your regularly scheduled cleaning appointment. It probably won't take very long because you are so good at home, and we probably only have to do it twice a year. What is the whole point of cleaning off tartar and plaque you ask? I'm glad you asked. Let's talk about that next time.

After a few years, people often report that they no longer share any common ground as their interests may have changed. That is when I ask people about the values they share.They often are puzzled by this question and name the things they have built together such as their home, family and careers. Values are at the core of all the decisions we make and actions we take.These values assist us in explaining why life feels right or not. In my experience, individuals in new couples rarely take the time to discuss their respective values and how aligned or not they may be in them. For example, Joy values ``security`.This leads her to want to be cautious with the family finance. Tom, her husband, values ``freedom``. Consequently, he would prefer to be spontaneous with spending money and prioritize fun over saving.They have been fighting for years about money and cannot figure out why this is such an issue. Take the time to have a conversation about values with your spouse. You will find the process may assist both of you to understand what drives the other person`s motivation and choices. If you have competing values and needs, consider relationship coaching to assist you with creating a new common ground.

Q: While it is similar interests that bring people together,is it their shared values which will keep them together in the long run?
