Well, because we're so different as people. And it's that difference that probably also makes it easy to stay together, because we don't get in each others way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have much more in common with other people than we have apart.
We're all different. That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It's not up to me to judge anybody.
I think when a couple stays together, it's because of compromises they've both made.
A lot of people are not meant to be together.
We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not.
We both came from families in which parents got married, had children and the whole thing. So we were not the kind of people to live together permanently.
Why do people stay in relationships that are tough from almost the very beginning?
But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.
It's human nature to want to be with other people.
We allow each other so little enjoyment or even tolerance for our individualities, our uniquenesses, and yet to me, that's what it's all about.
