Can two people with nothing in common ever have a chance at an everlasting relationship?
Is love really all it takes?

Yes two people do have a chance at an everlasting relationship when they have nothing in common but the studies show that you are more likely to marry someone who acts and looks just like you than to marry someone who acts and looks different than you.Pussyfoot Mouse said:
And the love question? Depends on your defination of love? I am just like my girlfriend and I love her very much. I don't care if I just love her because she is like me. I love her, that is all that matters.

I am reserved and quiet; my wife is loud and outgoing
. My wife likes to dance:jiggy: ; I hate to dance.
I am focused on projects and complete them; My wife jumps from project to project (except that she is completing college this year, that's a pretty big project).
I can relax, do nothing, and sit around the house :149: ; She is always active and wanting to go do things:woohoo: .
I like sports, she doesn't.
We're pretty much opposites, but we love each other.

Im so diffrent from my significant other........... We ARE total opposites.
When I do something, shes curious because its so odd and unique to her, when she does something Im curious too. Such a wonderful way to live with someone for the rest of your life.

Yes, opposites certainly do attract and the relationships can last. The key is to respect and enjoy the differences, but never try to change the other person. My husband and I are opposites in many ways, but I wouldn't want it to be any diferent. I love him the way he is, not how I might try to change him (which I would never do).

Hehe - you're always being watched Pah - got to be careful what you say!!!Pah said:
Joking; I know you both have a wonderful relationship - it is rare and wonderful to see two people so well suited; that's the point though - we only ever hear about the marriages that go sour - never the good, silent ones.
Todd, I had to smile when I saw your post - it sounds as if our marriages run in a parallel way! Marie loves dancing; I hate it - I did try; we went to ballroom dand=cing lessons, and I can manage a waltz (NOT the Viennese one I hasten to add), as well as a slow step, some form of rumba,and although I am useless at it, I just love to Jive.
I have suddenly realized I am probably talking a foreign languager to you - I don't know if you guys have 'ballroom dancing' over there! - oh, and I have three left feet!
I love indoors, Marie loves outdoors, I love fixing computers, Marie loves breaking them.............the list goes on.
One thing though that 'oposites attract ' has going for it is that marriage, as I see it, is a partnership in which each contributes a strength to the other's weanesses - to come out with a good all-round strength.
