  I wouldn't say we're an of couple but I'm sure that's what most would say. He's 39 and I'm 25. He's atheist and I'm a Christian. Additionally, I'm overweight and he's very thin. I think our relationship works because we are both understanding and care for the other person. It's absolutely wonderful that we are both in similar places in our lives (same type of work, both live alone and support ourselves). Probably the most challenging/aggravating is that I'm constantly asked if I want children.

  We kind of are. I'm Christian, he's Pagan. I'm a Type A minimalist neat freak, he's an ADHD hoarder. I'm a worrier, he's not. I'm a planner, he's not. I come from a loud, dysfunctional yet close and loving family, he comes from a plain dysfunctional family that doesn't get along at all. Most of the time we balance each other out, but of course we do have issues with expectations. We've gotten better about communicating what we want and why it's important to us. We do both want the same things in life and have similar morals and ways of viewing the world, though I'm actually more optimistic than he is, despite being the worrier. We work. We make each other want to be better versions of ourselves, and we respect each other even when differences drive us crazy. I think that's what's important.
