Re: what do you and your wife/gf have in common??? :)

Joanne and I have complete differant personalites, I dont think i ever heard her raise her voice, she doesnt aurgue, never neg. But we both love to explore, boating, shes my best friend. She will get out in the woods, and loves nature. Even puts her own worm on the hook.

In common--Boating, boozing, grilling, love animals and birds, traveling.. She likes country music and I don't like it. She likes Twilight and I hate it.

You know why marriage was invented? The Jews were roaming the desert for forty years. Cheating lovers was common and disruptive. So they created marriage to try and stop all that hanky panky

We both like camping, boating, fishing, home improvement projects, and quite a few others things I can't think of right now. We are different in many areas too. She likes to panic when problems arise. She will have what she calls her "moment" and then work to solve the problem. It's easy to read her emotions. I can look at her body language or the expression on her face and know if something is on her mind. I'm the more laid back one. I don't let problems or situations get to me to often. Together, we can figure out how to get through anything. Wouldn't want to be without her. We've been married 6 years, second marriage for each of us. Best 6 years of my life.

Re: what do you and your wife/gf have in common??? :)

Our family types are identical, and being around hers feels like being around mine. Raised with the same faith and values as I was. She's a small town girl, I'm from the city but have my country side. We always have a good time when we do things together. If it stays this way I may have to pop the question soon :eek:

The one thing that bothers me is that I'm the laid back adventurous type, always looking for an opportunity to do something new and exciting...my definition of "living life." She is more of the home-body type. Enjoys her evenings on the couch reading and getting to bed early. Now that's not always the story because she did choose to go skydiving (I was her instructor, that's how we met), but more often that not she's conversative in her actions. She loves being on the boat but hates being in the water for very long (something about giant monsters in Kansas lakes). It's nice to hear of other people who have these differences but seem to manage them just fine.

I'm messy. She's a neat freak.
I'm productive and goal oriented. She's a couch potato.
I catch fish. She hates the sight of blood and won't clean them.
She cooks food. I eat food.

Hey, it works, lol.

Re: what do you and your wife/gf have in common??? :)

I'm trying the opposites attract way this time, and boy are we opposites. She doesn't work, sleeps till late, has little ambition, and me, I do all that stuff, don't really have a choice. The things I always looked for seemed to backfire on my practice marriage, but this one as crazy as it sounds, is actually working quite well. I tend to pick my battles these days, I stopped worrying about the small stuff, and maybe that is a better way of doing things. She's 17 years younger than my 53 years, and I always say she keeps me young. Actually we do like all the same things, northern Michigan, boats, fishing, golf, movies. We don't drink and I think that helps a bunch, ex was a big drinker, and it did cause some problems. I have grown and matured and Linda has always been mature I think.

Mrs Ken and I have most things in common and very few not. Simple as that. Been working for a long time now and it's only getting better as time goes on.

A friend of mine says that there were only two things he and his ex-wife had in common:

1. They were both married on the same day.
2. They were both in love with her.

Re: what do you and your wife/gf have in common??? :)

The Love Of My Life (former wife and current girlfriend) and I share a love of nature, classical music, German and English culture and, of course, our numerous descendants. We married at 19 and 18, 58 years ago. I could not imagine a more perfect mother for our children. The smartest thing I have ever done was to marry her and the dumbest thing was to allow her to divorce me 27 years later. The reasons no longer matter.

nice n congrats JB, really nice :)..................................
