They say opposites attract. Whoever “they” are…. in our case, “they” must be right. I don’t know of any other couple as opposite as my Hubby and me.

Obviously, he’s the Yankee, I’m the southern girl.

Without him, yankeewife.com would not be possible. Not with me anyway. Something most people don’t know about us is that he’s younger and I’m older. We ‘trade’ ages sometimes. Hey, it works for me! (SSsshhh! Most people think he’s older, so this will be our little secret!)

Hubby is a leftie, I’m a rightie.

He’s hot natured, I’m always cold. He just loves when I crawl into bed and put my sub-zero toes on his leg.

Our personalities couldn’t be any farther apart. He’s so “Type A”. Yep, you guessed it! A workaholic who’s impatient, excessively time-conscious, highly competitive, aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. Whew! Don’t let those words fool you though. He’s really a big teddy bear. (SSsshhh! don’t tell anyone THAT, either!!)

Oh, I almost forgot, I’m “Type Zzz”. I’m very patient, relaxed, passive, and easy-going. MOST of the time. And almost to a fault. Which is probably why I’m such a procrastinator (but that’s a whole other blog…).

One of our biggest opposites is that he’s a morning person, and I’m so NOT! He’s up at the crack of dawn EVERY day, AND he’s always in a cheery, talkative mood first thing in the morning. Eeewwww!

That hurts just thinking about it.

I absolutely LOVE to stay up late and sleep in. I somehow manage to get up to make him coffee (most) every morning before he goes to work. That should be proof enough that I love him, don’t you think?!?

Here’s another biggie: I have children, he does not. And he’s fine with that. He loves WS1 and WS2 as if they were his own.

But no matter how many opposites we face with each other, we always have that ONE THING in common. That’s the love we have for each other.

Ok, that, and baseball……but we make each other better people. We are greater together than the sum of our parts. So if we’re going to have something in common, I’m so very glad it’s that ONE THING.

And baseball.
