things in common with DH?
My bff and I were just talking - she's frustrated in her new marriage. She and her DH have nothing in common - no common hobbies or interests. she thinks because of this her marriage is "doomed". I've told her that a lot of couples don't have things in common but that doesn't seem to help. My DH and I don't have much in common so I pointed that out. Am I wrong? What things do you guys have in common with your DH?
Re: things in common with DH?
My in-laws have absolutely nothing in common and have been married 35 years. They don't seem to have the best marriage, but it works for them.
Dh and I have tons of stuff in common - same interests, similar hobbies, same tastes, etc. We like it this way b/c we don't disagree on things very often such as how to spend the weekend or what we want in the home we are building. It would bother me if we didn't see eye to eye b/c I always think I am right, so it is good that he is on my side.
This is what is going to doom her marriage.
As far as hobbies, MH don't have that much we have in common, but our hobbies are what we do without each other.
My DH and I don't share a lot of interests but we do share a lot of beliefs, thoughts, goals and dreams. Do they not even share that?
Even though I'd rather cut off my big toe than go to a football game, I go to support my DH's interests and I enjoy the time I spend with him there (even though I don't enjoy the event).

DH and I don't share alot of common intrests but it is what makes us unique and what makes our marriage...interesting. Marriage does involve some compromises and the chance to learn some new intrests. Recommend they each try something the other is passionate about, they may discover they do have things in common.
