Clarification.

I do want to clarify that for anyone reading this, it's not an effort to make him or me look good or bad. I also don't write this to explain how to be in a relationship. I write this to show the interesting dynamic between two people who are married but come from different perspectives.

As compatible as we are with each other, we have our differences which makes us work. We are really opposite in a lot of ways, but again, that's what makes us work. He gets to sit around and go on and on about how Paul Tillich (who?) is widely considered to be one of the greatest systematic theologians of the 20th century and I go on about why The Broadcast Advertising Nondiscrimination Rule is important to encourage a vibrant media ecosystem. Oh wait, "blah blah blah."

This dynamic is what makes us work. We don't talk about the same thing, ever. We don't have similar subjects of interest, even if we do both like the same music (except for his recent AOR phase, which could be over any day now).

Why do we work, then? I think it's because we teach each other things. And if learning is a lifelong process, I think we'll be good. Two intellectual people living under one roof. Both of us stubborn and opinionated and one of us is always right.
