55.5: Discuss whether or not you think you and your partner make a good couple.
On the surface, you probably wouldn't think so. We're opposite in a lot of ways. He's a bit reserved--not in the sense that he's quiet, so much as very controlled. You never really know he's thinking. He's Mister Cool, Calm, and Collected. I? Am loud. I wear my heart right out there on my sleeves. I'm emotional, or, as the ninety nine thousand memes I've done say, passionate. I usually say hotheaded, but whatever. Our personalities, you would think, would be completely at odds. You wouldn't think we could put up with each other. You'd think we would argue all the time. And even deeper, our 'motivations', as he puts it, fall on opposite sides of the line. We're even complete opposites visually, as shallow as that is: he's fair skinned, blonde haired and blue eyed, and I'm...well. Tejano. As in jet black hair and olive skin and boring brown eyes.
As it turns out, though, all of that works in our favor (disregarding the physical comment--I think it's pretty obvious we look damn good together). We have just enough similarities--important similarities--to connect, and understand each other. So that instead of clashing, we balance each other. He brings out all these things in me that I never thought I had--boldness, confidence, a sense of adventure--and I hope I do the same for him. I try to pull him out of that control and make him laugh, and smile, and play. He's patient enough to tolerate my outbursts, and most of the time he's the only one that can calm me down and keep me grounded.
And on top of that and most importantly, we love each other. John Lennon wasn't completely right--love is not all you need. But it does go a long, long way to overcome a lot of things.
Plus, fantastic sex. What? That's important too.
