Q : What are 'Compatible opposites'???
A : Husband & Wife :)
As funny as it sounds, I have come to believe that only this combination of words can explain the relationship between a husband and a wife. As I look forward to my wedding day, I can't help but wonder how two people (like me and my boyfriend) will be able to find that balance that will keep us together through thick and thin.
The first couple that amazed me were 'Mom & Dad'. Mom being the shy,soft spoken and emotional person that she is and Dad the Loud and the most Practical person in my life. They are like the railway tracks,moving in the same direction yet in their own different path. All their differences seemed insignificant when it came to making each other happy. I asked my dad once why they argue so much... My dad said "If a couple argues it means that they are not afraid to tell the other what is in their mind". I didn't understand that as a kid, The fact that I am able to speak my mind proves that I know, he will still love me. They loved each other and we could all see it. If we (My Boyfriend & I) can make each other half as happy as they made each other, I'd consider myself lucky
My amazement continues as the nervousness and the countdown to the wedding started. But every-time my fear increased, watching two couples instilled some faith in me that I too will be able to complete my compatible opposite.
H & V are 'Roll-reversal Experts' and two halves of a circle. Their personalities are so different. They change everyday and they change together. They are not the people they were when they married each other. H becomes V and V becomes H,as and when the situation demands. Hence, the balance is maintained :). They complete each other. They fight one day and the next day they do exactly what they refused to do the previous day.
S & S, Yeah their names start with the same alphabet, but I only wish I could say they were the same kind of people. S & S remind me of the movie 'Rab ne bana di jodi' or 'Monica & Chandler'. She is outspoken and always bursting with energy (sometimes anger). He is laid back, likes to savour each moment as it comes. He stood by her through all her ups and downs. They argue, but the moment a third person takes either sides, the other jumps and rescues the love of their life.
What brings balance in their lives, there are two reasons I can think of,
1. They love each other. Love has an amazing energy to consider what is good and ignore what is bad. I guess it is true then, Love is blind :).
2. They WANT to be together. Love can happen over and over again, with the same person or someone else. The choice is yours. If you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, then you will fall in love with the same person over and over again. You will find new reasons to appreciate and learn the different shades of the same person.
Now I wish for myself, that I have their happiness throughout my life. I wish to 'He & I' can be 'Compatible Opposites'.
