[gpb1874]

My hubby and I are pretty different. He's conservative, likes to hunt, fish and be outside; has a scientific brain (double major in oil and natural gas engineering). I'm more liberal, don't like the outdoors so much (it's too dang hot in S. Texas) and have a degree in history. We think differently, we like to do different things, we watch different shows (some similar) and we do handle money differently (this is def. a challenge, but we usually work through it and separate accounts are a must for us!).

But you know what, it really works for us. I like learning from him and experincing new things with him and it works that way for him too. We don't have too much in common, but really enjoy each other's company and are willing to compromise so we each get our own way. He's a major talker, so we nearly always have something to talk about.

If it works, it works. We've been together for almost 15 years (dating + marriage) and are completley committed to each other, although we couldn't tell you why! It just works and sometimes that's how it is.
