Opposites--100 Words


Opposites.

The old saying is that opposites attract.

You ever notice that? Probably.

That is never more true than in a marriage.

She’s always cold. He’s always hot.

He loves the beach. She loves the mountains.

She wants to watch a romantic comedy. He wants to watch ESPN.

What’s a couple to do?

Fight? Disagree? Go to their respective corners and count to ten?

How about compromise? While compromise often seems to be a negative thing, it doesn’t have to be. It can be positive. And, healthy.

In any relationship, compromise is a must. It’s about give-and-take. It’s about sharing.

  1. Well put Steve. Jo & I are opposites. She can't make up her mind whether she is cold or hot. I am mostly hot. I like the mountains and adventure. She likes the computer and sitting in front of the TV. She likes action movies. I like all kinds (mostly action). I am very active. She is not (unless you count fingers moving on a computer active). We compromise. I give in and she wins. LOL Good thoughts here my friend. Say hi to my family on FB.

    Love each other completely and lift each other up. Involves a lot of compromise, but it is definitely worth it.
