my husband and i both grew up in the same kind of church, we were on rival football teams in high school, he has to talk to everyone, i wave and go on, we are both licensed ministers, i yell, he's quiet, i read, he watches tv. i do hands on, wood working, tools, home improvement, he does not, i do car maintance, he don't have a clue how. i love harley's, he could care less, i drive a 4X4 pickup, he drives a compact car, i'm a huge redneck, he hates it. i'm for farming, he's lost. i grew up country, he grew up preppy! i wear jeans and flannel, he wears suits and ties, i'm a nurse, he is a funeral director/ restaurant mamager. I tell people, I help them till they're gone and then he takes care of them. i cook he cleans, i'm sloppy, he's a neat freak. We compliment each other, what he can not do, i can, and vice versa!

Hubby is a police officer of 20 years - me I'm an RN of 34 years
Hubby loves all types of music - me country or classical
Hubby spends hours on the computer at home - me none since I'm on it all day long
Hubby rides Harley Davidson motorcycles - so do I
Hubby is 10 years younger than me - had to have someone able to keep up with me
Hubby is quiet - me I've never met a stranger
Hubby is knock out handsome - me so-so
Second marriage for both of us. Going on 10 years in December and it's better than ever. Wish I had met him first, but he was only 9 when I got married the first time. Think they have laws against that somewhere!

He is 17 years older than me (I figure it takes them that long to mature!)
I have only been a nurse. He has been a soldier, pastry chef, nurse, disability worker and educator.
He likes all music except 80s pop
I like harmony, but I'm slowly learning to like Jimi Hendrix, some of the heavy metal; you'll never get me to like opera or blues
We are both mad about computers.
We both love animals, and enjoy having wild animals around our home (goannas, frill necks. ibis and a variety of wild birds).
I love to read, he doesn't.
He's Scots, I'm Australian born.

Basically, I've found that the longer we've been together the more our interests have become similar. In 15 years they should have.

Me: Graduating in May. Will be a RN and eventually FNP.

Fiance: Software Engineer with hopes to be an entrepreneur.

We've got tons in common, but he's definitely more business-oriented... the common sense of the relationship, lol. I'm the book smart one. So... I guess we complement each other.
