He comes from the mountains. I'm from the plains. We have a connectiveness about military service and our core values are exactly alike. We are soulmates, in every sense of the word.Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-46852840851611839442011-08-16T13:30:05.143-05:002011-08-16T13:30:05.143-05:00Thanks everybody for the well wishes!

Life just keeps getting more exciting!<br /><br />Crystal, thanks for stopping by. I am like you: most of the time hubby and I are on the same page. We agree on a lot of things which probably explains why we've been married so long.<br /><br />Lynn, I know hubby and I see things at first blush differently because he's a Yankee and I'm born and bred Southern BUT eventually we always come to the same conclusions. Odd isn't it?<br /><br />Wow, Angela - you sound like me and my hubby sounds like yours as far a personalities! But like you, our values pretty much run the same. And I like the saying "Opposites attract then attack." I have never heard that before. As Jean said yesterday, "I must have it!."<br /><br />Yes, Jean, I think we might be proving the studies are right. Frank and I agree on everything you listed, including Buffy! (We also like "Supernatural"). I think compatibiity might be part luck but I also think it's a lot of work (give-and-take are learned through the years). I, too, am thankful things worked out for me.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-50959204773545101342011-08-16T11:20:38.818-05:002011-08-16T11:20:38.818-05:00There's a trend here.

The Guy and I are very different on the surface but very alike about things that matter: morals, religious belief, values, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. <br /><br />But it's not like we considered any of that. Compatibility in marriage is 95 per cent luck. At least it was for us. We would have done it if he'd been a Nazi spy and I'd been a bank robber. Chemistry overrules good sense. I'm just thankful it worked out for me.Alicia Hunter Pace (aka Jean Hovey and Stephanie Jones)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13844329805282121486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-22863279764952817762011-08-16T10:16:52.734-05:002011-08-16T10:16:52.734-05:00Happy Anniversary, Cheryl! :) And congrats--that&#...Happy Anniversary, Cheryl! :) And congrats--that's inspiring. I know that takes a lot of determination and effort.<br /><br />You know, where I came from the saying usually came in two parts.. 'Opposites attracts, and then attack!' While I think there's something to be said for people being attracted to or fascinated by those who are very different from themselves, 'attraction' alone is a poor basis for a long-term commitment. <br /><br />On the surface, my husband and I could probably be called opposites. Particularly when it comes to our personalities. I'm overbearing, intense, temperamental, and brooding--he's calm, humor-driven, easygoing, and patient to a fault (Making him just about the only kind of person who can handle me at length!). But really, I think our personalities are more complementary than 'opposite'. Despite nearly opposite upbringings, we both ended up with the same core values, goals, and faith. We just arrived at them on entirely different paths. :)<br /><br />~Angela BlountAngela N.

We are also from different ends of the country, different backgrounds, etc, and yet I'd say we have the same core values too. On the surface, we seem different -- but not deep down.

Dark Knigh...Happy Anniversary!!!! That is awesome!<br /><br />Dark Knight and I are definitely on the same page most of the time. If I did a study of my characters I would probably find they shared similar core values. Not always, given the nature of some of the characters, but much of the time.Crystalnoreply@blogger.com
