Opposites and Differences

Man who loves red
Woman who loves pale pink instead
Man who sports a truck...the bigger the better
Nice plush car with velvety seats
Home with plush carpet for soft feet (kept very clean)
God as he films this must think what a funny scene
For two very opposites arguing over how to spend money
When the problem is they have nothing at all in common
What makes him happy makes her feel very alone
What makes her happy make him feel out of control..

Well do they make it?  Only God knows..

Doris Culverhouse Date: 6/24/2010 4:55:00 PM funny one mom...so true yet not so true. I like things to be clean but I don't like to clean, I like a truck but I like to be more comfortable than in a truck. etc. Login to Reply

Phyllis Babcock Date: 6/24/2010 3:32:00 PM I think opposites attract. This sounds like my relationship. We do not have much in common but we find common ground. I find that we take turns fighting for control over the relationship. You have to learn the give and take and at times I truly wonder how we survived 37 years of marriage.

Daver Austin Date: 6/24/2010 2:50:00 PM Make it? Why not? Togetherness (both doing and liking the same things together) can be poison. I once asked an old, old couple, "How can a couple be always together, never apart for more than an hour or two?" The man said, "One is a collie dog." Good brain twister, Sara.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/24/2010 2:20:00 PM Very astute observation, Sara! They can make it, but they will probably never really be truly happy. Thanks for commenting to my blog. I enjoyed seeing your answer. Luv, Andrea Login to Reply

Jay Del Fierro Date: 6/24/2010 1:07:00 PM sometimes,the opposites attracting,can actually lead the two,too a unified force unimaginable....unfortunately,most can't do that,as the domineering spirit fights for control....peace,jay Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 6/24/2010 12:58:00 PM Well, they say opposites attract and I can relate to the scenario you described, Sara. Sometimes these relationships do work, but often they fail. Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply
