I, too, have a teasing hubby and fortunately learned early on to give back as good as I got! Yet, he still leaves me speechless at times. (Yes, even me!) I've been married longer than you...since 1993. Seems so long ago, and seems like just yesterday.

But he is a pedantical cleaner, while I might have, what you call, an organized chaos :) He is extravert, I am introvert. He loves to tease me, and I fall for it every time, ending up angry and realizing afterwards that it was just a tease. He is calm, and I errupt easily. Not a funny list - sorry ;) I really forgot those days, we have been married since 1995…

So many of the things dh and I learned to adjust too...Georgiana's comment on candles reminded me of how I loved dh's Stetson cologne when we were dating which he stopped wearing once we were married! Strong scents give him headaches! Guess who else had to give up wearing scents? Yup, no perfumes for me. I use body mists when I know he's not going to be around! Annette, thanks so much for coming over! It sounds like you do complement each other well! It's so funny how introverts and extroverts are attracted to each other...I'm the extrovert in our family, and he's the animal lover though I've learned to really appreciate them also. Thanks, everyone for participating, I feel like I know a little more about you! Amy, sure, what do I do to participate? I enjoy Tricia's books...and thanks for sharing the info on the poem!

It's in "Where the Sidewalk Ends". Fun! and by the way...would you be interested in participating in the Blog tour for Tricia Goyer's new book, Valley of Betrayal? (www.triciagoyer.blogspot.com)?

Having a happy marriage is not a matter of finding the right person; it is 'becoming' the right person. And with God in the business of changing and filling lives, who can lose?

As for the short differences: I'm a people person, she's shy. I like older kids, she likes infants. I like being home, she wants to go out (she's there all day, after all!) I'm a night owl, she'd rather get a lot of sleep. When we first got married, I was in the habit of coming home from work and hopping on the computer– that changed quickly.

I'm always on time if not a few minutes early, however not all of my friends work on the same clock! I've found these quirks to be quite amusing. Thanks, ladies for being so open and honest! LOL.

He likes tucked, I don't. He likes open windows all year round, I don't. Toothpaste...I like squeezed and rolled from the bottom, he doesn't. I introduced toothpaste squeezers...He likes them! :) I like cats, he doesn't...but now MY cat is HIS cat! I"m high energy, he isn't so I go for long walks, he sometimes joins me. He thinks quickly and can keep up in discussions, takes me a bit longer to formulate my response... HUGE blessing in discussions with my brothers (he helps). :) For the most part, we complement each other well. :) He’s an introvert to an extreme, I am too, but not as extreme.
