Remember opposites do attract and differences balance each others personalities!
We're both passionate about GOD!
Family is VERY important to us
We are history buffs
He HATES seafood / fish (If its habitat is water forget it) I LOVE it!
He LOVES Italian / I can live without it
He is an early riser / I'm a night owl
He is an introvert/ I'm an extravert
There are more but I'll let someone else have a turn.
Re: How are you and your spouse similar / differen
I am very easy-going and my wife has a temper I like spending money she is tight so tight in fact she squeezes a dollar so tight the eagle screams.

Re: How are you and your spouse similar / differen
I consider us to be polar opposites!
We do share:
Love for God and the Word of God
Love for Church and the people of God
Love for our families and our beautiful sons
Love for each other (most days )
Enjoyment of watching hockey and baseball.
Enjoyment of playing rook and various other games
Enjoyment of a good cup of tea with milk
I'm sure I could name more things we share in common... some things have become common since we married.. my enjoyment of sports, for example.
But differences.... MY MY MY
Well let's see.
Husband ................ Me
Male ................ Female
Broken preachers Home .............. Saved Mom and Dad
Abusive people in life in the past ............. Great friends and family
Athelitic in sports......... No Comment
Social Butterfly.............. Caterpiller still in the coccoon
Loves a crowd .............. Loves a few
Driving Record 10 pages ............ Driving record 1 page
Eats seafood (ie things with eyes) .............. Hates seafood (ie huge sea insects)
Eats all manner of things ............... Likes her meat and potatos
Will run around the church .......... Will occasionally dance
Loves a fan blowing at night ............... Hates the cold air on her face
Listens to music at night .................. Has to know where his earphones are at all times!
Acts now, thinks later .............. Thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, till near insane
Not sensible enough to worry .................... Worry wart
Runs hot................... Always feeling cold
I know I could go on all night, but I also know nobody really cares

Well, she a white girl from Eastern Canada who grew up with country music....I'm a Latino from Southern Cali who grew up with soul music, hmmmm, yup we're different. She's graceful and kind...I like to toot! She had 1 boyfriend in her life, I lost count of girls. Her family never said the word "f_rt" in their lives, my family laughed about them. She loves Disney, I wouldn't mind if Mickey was stabbed in a dark alley. She loves cats, I wouldn't mind if they hung out with Mickey. She will go out of her way to be nice to someone, I have the most sarcastic mouth you have ever heard that I usually stay away from people so that my mouth doesn't get me in trouble.
But, together, we are better people than if we were separate...we love young people, we love to sing, we love to play music, we love to laugh, we love our church and the family of God at CCC, we love baseball, we love to smooch, we both are sensitive to the Holy Ghost (that has saved me), we love to travel, we love mexican food and In-N-Out Burger, we love/d our parents and families, we love to have small contact at all times, we like video games--hers are cute, mine I shoot terrorists, we love the USA, we love Canada, we love cooking for others, we like Jazz, we love the beach....thats enough for now.

See, now you should renew your wedding vows and say all those nice things to her...

Re: How are you and your spouse similar / differen
Similarities.
We both love God & his people.
We both realized long ago that not all who claim to be His people are truly His people.
We have an equal paradigm as to what our call & vision is.
We share a passion for our family and are working to slow things down so we can major more on the majors.
Our favorite indulgence is to go out somewhere nice to eat with one another and visit like we used to have more time to do.
I could go on and on.... but this will suffice.
Differences
When I wake up I am UP... alive... ready to live, breathe, sing, crank up the music... YEAH!!!!!!!!!! another day.
My wife... not so much.
My wife can talk to anybody. She has never met a stranger and could sell an ice box to an eskimo. She has enough charisma for the both of us and several of our nearest friends.
Me... not so much.
I love to learn. INPUT!!!! MUST HAVE INPUT!!!... I stop when I see a documentary. All of my kids are the same way. To learn is an obsession.
My wife... she waits for the recap after we have soaked it all in. She finds the information interesting but not so much that she would want to learn it herself.
I believe that God made the sun to go down for a reason. I am of the opinion that the invention of the light bulb has skewed the mind of man away from Gods plan that we go to bed when the sun goes down.
My wife believes that the sun going down is a sign from God that the day should now begin in earnest. She also believes that the sun coming up is a sign from God to put the cover over her head and SLEEP LIKE THE WIND BULLSEYE!!!
One of lifes great pleasures is to get up early and sit on the front porch and take in the morning. Then go up to the local cafe and get a nice breakfast with my son (as all of the female folk are still holding tightly to their pillows). My son and I have been to several towns, bought stuff to work on the house, eaten a good breakfast... We have lived several hours before the lady folk even think about beginning the process of multiple moans that will eventually peel them from bed.
My wife is happy for me as long as I don't ask for her involvement.
