IN UNISON â—½ MARRIAGE
Complementary love in marriage truly is a gift.
It means each partner brings their unique qualities and abilities to the relationship.
This represents two independent individuals flourishing side by side, each in their own way. When you consider it, this dynamic within a marriage is quite extraordinary.
Sometimes I wonder if Chris and I are too complementary, as we express love differently.
I often overlook the importance of our balance.
The differences create our shared “music.” Chris brings the tune, and I add the lyrics.
Chris is extroverted, sociable, and lively; I'm introverted, prefer solitude, and reserved.
He drinks black coffee, I choose sweetened.
He's joyful and energetic, while I'm peaceful and calm—movement suits him, stillness suits me.
When complementary traits meet, a balanced harmony results—something we've both experienced.
It's a sign of ambivert-like behavior.
I've also seen increased flexibility and hybrid partnership in our marriage lately.
I must ask, do you agree the phrase, “You complete me” has been ridiculed?
I think it has made people want to gag, including myself, honestly.
But I’m understanding it more than I have before.
A husband and wife’s traits, while each unique, can become enhanced together.
It has naturally occurred in my marriage with more time spent bonding.
There is great purpose in marriage with complementary love.
When we notice our differences, we recognize they can form unity.
Complementary love is gifted by the Holy Spirit in marriage.
God created men and woman to have complementary roles, equal but different.
We are now in a New Year!
Join me in focusing on appreciating complementary love within marriage - God Given.
Perhaps allow room for deep appreciation of each other’s personality & traits.
Happy New Year!
