I usually pass these type questions, but since today marks 32 years of marriage, I'll comment...
We met my junior year in high school and I knew she was the one, although I can't tell you exactly why. We were complete opposites in almost every category that you could imagine, she was 4'11'' and I was 6', she was shy and I was outgoing, she was into quite country and folk music and I was a "wannabe" rock star, etc., etc. For whatever reason, we just knew that it was right. We graduated the next year in May, and were wed in October. We've never looked back, and I can't imagine life without her.
We raised our kids, now 23 and 27 years old, and for the last five years we took care of her father, until he passed earlier this month. Now, we finally have some time to ourselves again. It's almost like dating again, although instead of going out, we sit on the porch and watch the world go by. Life is good.
The bottom line is that I guess, in our case anyway, opposites attracted. The weird thing is, these days we are so much alike, that I can barely tell where I stop and she begins.
