5. We are more alike - way more alike
Sometimes it's scary - especially if you know we've been together a whole 6 months.

:D

combination. We're enough alike to be compatible and have enough differences to be interesting to each other.

8. Our personalities are very different...
You all know how I am...outgoing, cheerful (usually), talkative (and how!). My husband is quiet, less cheerful, MUCH less talkative. Of course, when he does talk, he always has interesting things to say...he's very bright, and remembers most of what he reads, which is a lot.

Both of us have absorbed some of the other's characteristics: I'm more intellectual than I used to be, and he's a lot more social than he used to be. Differences remain; politics is NOT one of them, and we've always shared our progressive views, thank goodness...

:hi:

9. Very similar...
In terms of our viewpoints on many things. Very similar in upbringing and values. Both of us pretty social and able to get along with all types of people.

But I'm far more temperamental and emotional. He's very calm-- sometimes he amazes me with what he is capable of dealing with. No complaints or grumpiness. He's so extremely easygoing about everything. He keeps me on an even keel. I need that.

10. I find it odd that we are so
different. We disagree on many major topics yet are perfect together.
The one thing we agree on is tolerance. We tolerate each other.

11. Although we have similarities...
in entertainment, friends, foods, etc., we differ in personality.

She is more talkative, adventurous, and spirited.

I tend to be quiet, thoughtful, and reserved.

But I love her dearly and really appreciate her kindness, helpfulness, devotion, and integrity.
