Can this person really live on the same earth and breathe the same air and not understand what we mean at all? It seems impossible sometimes, but men and women made by the same Creator, who go back to the same dust after taking long and twisting routes through life, can harbor very different views of...well...just about everything! Being one in marriage seems to signify more of a completing of two opposite halves rather than both coming to one side or the other of an issue. And this is just what calls us back to negotiate understanding, this incessant need to complete the puzzle together, even when we want to give-up and lock all the doors and windows against its desire.
Making assumptions about the language of love our spouse prefers often leads to disappointment, and sometimes even to misunderstanding.
