opposites attract or not?
Just curious about everyone's personal experiences with this.
My s/o and I have been together 4 years this month and are talking about taking the next step and getting married. In those 4 years we had split up once for a couple months but never stopped talking. We both got our acts together and fixed some personal issues. The last 2 years have been the best. We have lived together for a little over a year and have learned how to work together and maintain an apartment as well as discuss financial plans and our future.
We grew up in opposite worlds-I had a great family surrounding and lived on a farm. He was pretty much raised by his mom and gma and had little to no male role models.
I have a lot of hobbies-riding my mule, crafting (crochet, scrapbook, sewing etc), outdoor activities-gardening etc the list goes on. He doesn't have a ton of hobbies and thoroughly enjoys computer games, and the gym. Herarely watches tv or stays up to date on current events in the news etc other than football.
He does enjoy going to the movies, football games, and other events.
I absolutely understand that couples don't spend 24 hours together and I would never want that. I would want us to have our own hobbies. Sometimes I think its great that we can both go do our own things but then sometimes I worry that if we don't have common interest that we wont make it for the long hall.
Any married couples feel this way? Any thoughts?
Thanks

You've lived together for over a year. You know whether or not you have anything to do together. You're the best person to answer that!
I wouldn't want to marry someone I had NO common interests with, but that's me! The things most likely to spli
