Do opposites attract? I think so! In the book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman he talks about "dead seas" and "babbling brooks." (By the way a must read for relationship building) My husband and I joke about this all the time. I'm a dead sea and he is a babbling brooke. What does that mean? The dead sea is perfectly happy not to talk while the babbling brooke will talk and talk. The dead sea personality loves to listen and is perfectly happy with that. Sometimes that babbling brooke will ask why aren't you talking, whats wrong, to the babbling brooke? While the dead sea may be "why do you talk so much?" can't we enjoy the silence sometimes?" "Is the silence uncomfortble for you?"
I rarely see two babbling brooks together and I rarely see two dead seas together. Being a dead sea myself I would be so bored if I was with someone as quite as me. It works out perfectly. Remember though your strengths can also be your weakness at times. Too much of a good thing can end up being not so good.
My husband loves that I listen to him, but sometimes he wishes I would speak more. I love that my husband is outgoing and communicates well but sometimes I ask "can we have a little quite time!" LOL!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
