- Gain a thorough understanding of ADHD in order to help distinguish behaviors attributed to lack of love or understanding from veritable features of the disorder.
- Diminish criticism, as too much on the part of the non-ADHD partner could result in the couple falling into a parent-child relationship pattern, which would be detrimental to the relationship.
- Divide tasks between you to play to each partner’s strengths.
- Break down tasks for the ADHD partner in order to avoid overwhelm.
- Try to have fun together as much as possible in order to nourish the relationship.
