Marriage to me is a give and take relationship between two people who love and understand each other. I am twenty-six years old and my wife is twenty-five so we are pretty close to the same age. We started dating in 1994 and were married in 1999. My wife and I have been together for about eight years now and have seen the good times along with the bad. My wife and I have many differences, but our similarities are enough to make it all worth it.
             Nythosia, my wife, has a problem with making decisions. If we were going to dine out for the evening and the choice of restaurant was up to her it would be time for breakfast before she decides. This makes her special to me because she takes her time and thinks about what she really wants. On the other hand, I have something in my head that automatically shuffles all our choices and pops an answer out almost immediately.
             Secondly, Nythosia has a temper that is like a stick of dynamite with a short fuse. She has the tendency to blow up at the smallest of things, but that's okay I still love her anyway. As for myself, I am as relaxed as they come when it comes to most situations. You would have to work pretty hard to get me upset over something. Although we have different temperaments, when it comes to relaxation we are in agreement that it is a necessity of life.
             Next, when it comes to money, Nythosia could stretch a dollar like a rubber band. If they would appoint my wife in charge of the national debt, she would have it straightened out quickly. Now with me, a dollar does not stand a chance. If my dollar were a rubber band it would be a very small one. One thing we have in common is that we believe in working hard for our money. We agree that working hard for our money makes us appreciate it more. Procrastination is a word I am very familiar with. I will put off a bill or payment of some kind in a heartbeat. On the other hand, Nythosia will pay bills a month early if she can.
