Hmmm…my favorite marriage of opposites is my own. Because sameness makes marriage boring, glad to be married to someone who in many ways is so vastly different frmo me.
ha -same here!!
I already did this on an earlier facebook post. Does it count? At the time I saw several other responses also. I sent the email. I shared.
sure it all counts. thank you!!
My marriage of opposites was my own, which didn’t last. He was the bad boy and I was the good girl. He was from the projects and I came from a good home with a caring and loving family. I loved being in love, he loved getting in trouble. I could go on and on, but I won’t bore you with some of the worst things that happened. Thanks for a great giveaway once again Robin! xx
I liked the post and shared on facebook and twitter. Thanks
I think my parents because my mom is tough love and my dad babies a little more. It’s a good way because they both help each other out in different scenarios of their lives. I emailed you, I’ll tweet it and I shared the picture.
thanks Hailey!
My husband is a patient introvert , I’m an impatient extrovert. We married in our 50’s. We arrived at the wedding in a shiny, red convertible. A friend said to him,”Is this your midlife crisis” and he replied,”No, Clare is my midlife crisis”. He’s quiet, but funny!
love this! nothing beats funny!
My husband and I are opposites since I like to eat and cook gourmet as well as salad. He would prefer buffalo wings and a beer. But together we took a test and are a genius since he can build the geometry boxes since he builds for a living, and I can answer the book smart questions especially science ones.
lots of husband/wife opposite combos! mine included…thanks for joining in!
Like many if the other posts – it’s my husband and I. I have book smarts, he has street smarts. I am from the north and he is a southerner. More differences than I have time to mention but we celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary in September so we must be doing something right
Marriage of Opposites – i would say my ex and I.
Him – redneck hunter, fisherman, NASCAR watcher, simpleton, trailer trashy.
Me – NOT!!
I can spell, he used spell check. I’m an avid reader. His idea of reading is looking at the pictures in magazines.
I can dress in jeans, sweats, on up to black tie – his idea of dressing up – black jeans and a button down shirt, the likes of what Charlie Harper wore on, “Two and a Half Men.”
I’m a foodie. His gourmet meal is from Applebee’s. I did work very hard to change that, to no avail.
It worked for a while, but not so much any longer.
NOTE: I had no intention of ruffling anyone’s feathers with my use of redneck, trailer trash, & NASCAR.
😛
thanks Melissa…
Alice Hoffman was one of the writers I read early on who inspired me to write. So excited that you’re interviewing her!
Oh, oops, hit “enter” before I described a marriage of opposites: My own! My husband is a software engineer, so shy that he has to make notes before he makes a phone call. Brilliant, and can fix anything. Me, well, my brother used to call me “Motor Mouth” and I don’t know one end of a screwdriver from the other.
ha -love this Holly. thank you!!
It seems like most marriages are full of opposites! People compliment each other
exactly!
