Can a person be both?  Perhaps, but I am most certainly not.  I am absolutely my father’s daughter; a very practical person.  As a side note, do you know what really annoys me?  The times when something is said to inspire questions/curiosity, but no answers are given (i.e. someone posting a ridiculous comment on a social networking site only to gain attention).  If there is a need for attention, shouldn’t that certain someone get off the social networking site and invest in face-to-face relationships (or better yet, pick up God’s Word)?

As newlyweds, hubby and I learned rather quickly the differences between us.  One of the major items we differ on is how we think and communicate.  Hubby is more of a “deep thinker” and relates to more broad, sweeping explanations.  I am a more superficial thinker, and explain almost everything with a practical analogy.  For my own mind, it is far easier to absorb an idea if there is a familiar, day-to-day, comparison.  Funny enough, understanding this part of my mind (and hubby’s mind) has allowed me to consciously think differently.  It also helps a ton when trying to communicate something to hubby and clearly missing the mark…I try to not be so very superficial/practical.

Anyhow, this post began as a vent about a lame Facebook status and ended with a lovely overview of how different hubby and I are.  Furthermore, as much as hubby and I are alike, it amazes me how lovely it is to be married to someone that is able to think deeper, more wisely (at times) than myself.  After all, his mind is one of the items that initially attracted me to him.  ;)
