StoryWorth: Top Five Things Jason and I Have in Common
What are the top 5 things that you and your spouse have in common?
Jason and I have a lot in common. When we were first dating it was sometimes spooky the tastes that we shared, the books and music and movies we loved--even the song that our mother's sang to get us out of bed in the mornings. We connected on so many levels that by the time we'd been together a few months other people thought we'd been together for years.
Over time we've shared so many experiences and our connection has deepened, day by day and year by year, for more than twenty years. We often say that our relationship feels like forever and yet somehow still new and exciting.
There are a lot of shared values and tastes that I could list, but in limiting myself to five, here are the ones that stand out to me today:
5. We both love travel and new experiences and love to share what we experience with each other.
4. We believe in compassion for other people, in gratitude, and in giving back.
3. We both love theatre--seeing it, making it, talking about it, supporting it.
2. We are both willing to work at having better communication, a stronger relationship, and being better partners to each other, even when that effort is painful.
1. We're both good at being happy and know that it's not a destination, but a way of life.
I am grateful every day to be married to him!
