I don't think you really have to fix "different meals"...you just have to do
some adjusting. We can both eat salads and some of the same veggies, we can
eat the same proteins, If he has rice I don't, I don't miss it and I am just
as happy with the salad, and the protein. Sitting at our dinner table isn't
so much about the meal as it is about talking over our day and enjoying each
others company
