6 Ways to Manage the Differences in Your Relationship Mary* loves romantic comedies. Her boyfriend Sam* likes action movies—the more violent, the better. She’s a vegetarian; hes a carnivore. “I love him, but we seem totally mismatched,” she says. “We can’t agree on a movie or a meal; how can we make important life choices, like where we’ll live or when we’ll start a family?” With all the electronic data available at our fingertips today, it seems like it should be a breeze to find a partner whos a perfect match.
