Opposites Attract

Jonathan and I are different. Way different.

For example, we were raised differently. Besides the whole North/South thing (which makes a big difference to be honest), our parents had different styles. Our environments were very different.

We have different beliefs. Now, it's nothing to write home about. Just those minor opinion issues.

As far as our personalities go, we're on different ends of the spectrum. I'm (daresay) chipper and social and relaxed. Jonathan is serious, quiet, and thoughtful.

Jonathan likes old people. I prefer babies.

Then we have our similarities:

We're both creative. But his is more musical, mine more artistic.

We're both stubborn. Which means when we have differing opinions.......we can't compromise or agree....

And we're both intellectual and logical....which means we could argue our differences and the reasons for them for DAYS.

We both love to read. He likes history and non-fiction....I prefer fiction. (The first time Jonathan realized he liked me what when we fought over what good poetry is.)


SO how are we still together? Listen, sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I wonder how this happened. How this stays together.

Besides our stubborn characteristics, what is holding us together?

I think it's God. And love. We've learned so much from each other. Being different allows us to broaden our horizons and learn new things. We appreciate the differences. Even though we may not agree.

It's not always perfect. We fight sometimes. But most of the time, I love my sweet, shy handsome man. He treats me so well and I could not have asked for anyone better.
