Now wat....

When a couple first falls in love all they see are the things they have in common. Everything seems to be exactly the same. Yet, something happens after time passes and suddenly things that are different pop up. The thing I don't understand is how quickly all the differences mask all the things in common. Soon people struggle to remember why they fell in love in the first place. Where I seem to get lost is when people start assuming that if a couple is different then they can't be together. Why is that? Yet, when I try to think of why a couple that is different SHOULD be together I am lost for words. I am not looking for someone who thinks the way I do. I do not want someone who can get lost in what ifs and theories for hours. I want and need someone whose feet are firmly planted on the ground. I have plenty of friends who will sit and pass the hours with details and connections that have no points. I want someone who appreciates that I think differently but I don't need someone who thinks the same way I do. I do need someone who can say we think differently but that is okay. I don't have to have someone who has the same occupation as I do. I don't need to know how they run their job even. I will appreciate what they do and I will be proud in that. I want someone to love. Someone to keep my bed warm at night. Above all else, I need and want someone who loves God with everything. If I want someone that is so different from me then this is the one and only thing I need in common.

How do I explain something to someone else when I can hardly explain it to myself?

- So, now what?
