Mars and Venus

You've heard it said, guys and girls are different. Well duh. But it is so true. Down to every little detail. I could probably make a 30 page list of all the differences between Tim and I. Of course, isn't that what makes a great marriage? Who wants to live with themselves, how incredibly boring!

Example: In the area of love. I need constant surprises. Not big things, but you know...those little moments that you know he loves you because he did something extraordinary. Like when he washes the dishes randomly. Or stares at you in the morning after getting dressed and says "Wow you look so pretty." Random flowers for no reason, a surprise kiss.

Its hard to explain this to him. Its not that I like one specific gesture, its that I like all of them when done unexpectedly. Men are so much more easy to please. If Tim and I went to dinner and a movie every night, he would be so in love. Haha. Hes content just being with me.

This probably comes from our backgrounds as well. My family lives for adventure. We never stop moving, exploring, and meeting new people. Tim's family are the all around American family. They all live right next to each other, and have get togethers with huge cookouts. I love both of our families, and I hope we have a little of each in us. (who can pass up a good cookout??)

A lady from work today was talking about her upcoming anniversary. 40 years. She was so excited when talking about her husband. She gave me advise on love and marriage. I was contemplating all this today. Its funny how much you learn about a person the more you are with them. I'm still learning about him, and hes learning about me. I wonder how long we will be learning? 40 years? I hope so :-)
