DH is my polar opposite. He's an engineer and extremely logical, and I'm...not. While it can be a crazy ride sometimes it mostly works well because we both help each other to see different viewpoints on things and/or ways of doing things. I guess on things like raising kids, though, we have similar viewpoints, so we're not totally opposite. It works.

We met when he was 17 and I was 18, starting dating a year later, and we married 8 years after that and just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary last month. *I* was ready to commit 2 or 3 years into the relationship, DH was not It worked out, though, and that was one of those "opposite" things that I can look back on and say he was probably (*probably* right about.
