My husband, John, and I are very different. I love scary movies, he likes cop/war movies. He hates scary movies, I really do not like cop/war movies.
He loves Mexican, I really do not! I like spicy things and I like sour things(pickles, lemons), he really does not.
I like mainstream and alternative music (Yellowcard, Jason Mraz), he prefers not to listen to that. He LOVES rap/hip hop, I have a serious issue with rap/hip hop.
Some of the most important things in life we disagree on, like finances, how to handle people, and the above. But the other day during an argument he says to me:
“I may not understand you all the time, but I will do whatever it takes to make you happy every time. I hate seeing you cry or unhappy in general, and I will find a way to fix it every time and that is what should matter.”
It shut me down so effing fast and I thought to myself, this man is amazing.
This is why I love my husband, he teaches me lessons I didn’t think to learn.
Don’t sweat the small stuff, is all that matters is your partner and you.
