HOW IS IT WE'RE SO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM OUR SPOUSE? |
Marriage and Me How can it be we’ve been together all these years and so little we agree? He loves racing cars, and sailing boats, smoking cigars, and American history. I love opera, English plays, the Grant Park Symphony, and medieval history. He needs silence in the mornings, I need a conversation. He loves martinis in the evening, and drinking gives me indigestion. He loves nothing more than meeting people thru the years. I hate meeting anyone I haven’t known for thirty years. He loves the new restaurants, for the surprises they offer. I love old restaurants, knowing every course they offer. He likes the top down, and I like it up. I brake down hills, and he speeds it up. I like pork and dislike fish, he likes fish and dislikes pork. I like my meat with fruity sauce. He likes his meat without any sauce. I say it’s too salty, he says it’s not salty enough. I say the TV’s too loud, and he says it’s not loud enough. I like parties quiet; he likes ‘em alive. I say it’s time to go, he says we just arrived. He says it’s the worst, and I say it’s the best. He says no, and I say yes. So you tell me why I love him so? And if you know, you might tell him the same, since he’s as perplexed as I, as to why he loves me so. |
