Relationships: Is it ok to be a little different from your partner?
I love my fiance so much, We make each other so happy. But is it ok to be different from each other? Just curious. Thanks! 
Re: Relationships: Is it ok to be a little different from your partner?
He has a penis. I have a vag. We are different.
We have common ideals and standards. We have similar intellectual pursuits. We like politics and current affairs and doing crossword puzzles together. He does math problems when he is bored. I read the Nest.
My husband and I are very different. We have differnet upbringings, religious views, political standings, etc. We are very opinionated about all of the above.
However, we are similar in our views on our relationship and our goals for the future. We are both loyal and have similar ideas on parentling. We both want our dogs and kids. We like similar kinds of entertainment (music, movies, etc). We enjoy each others' company even if we are doing different things (like he likes to watch a show on TV while I curl up and read near him).
What you have to do is communicate your needs and you both have to care if the other one is happy. Differences can be a huge asset if you use them to make you stronger.
