The Nest

We do not have a lot in common when it comes to hobbies or activites such as movies, books, sports.

I would say the only types of those things we have in common are scrabble, tennis and some video games..lol

We both like to do outdoor stuff, we like the same music, we have the same sense of humor and we both have the same views on almost everything but there are things that we dont agree on but we just agree to disagree!

We have a lot of stuff in common- same personality, same twisted sense of humor, same beliefs, etc.  As far as activities, we both enjoy hot rods, traveling, road trips, hiking, movies.... the list goes on and on.

I think opposites DO attract- I just don't think there is staying power in opposites.  But I do believe that couples have to have some differences in order to keep things interesting.

We both think I am AWESOME!

 

Lol, no, we're super similar. M-F versions of each other but what we each lack the other has.  

sometimes i wonder why i married the guy:)

we are like 50% the same and 50% complete opposites. we have some hobbies in common, but then others we are totally different. i think what makes it work is that most of the time, whatever we are doing, we are having fun just being together. 

We have opposite personalities

I'm moodier, hot tempered and DH is super mellow and never yells, ever

I'm less social and he makes friends easily

I like to plan everything ahead of time, and DH likes to sort of plan in the moment.  When he goes to Europe he doesn't even have hotels booked.  When I make travel plans I have reservations all over the place :) 

 

We enjoy a lot of the same things though, cooking, travel, design, music, pets, working on the house, college football.  I'm musical and he's artistic so we have different talents but they are in a similar area

We like to play board games, watch movies, hang out at home, travel and have similar senses of humor and goals in life.
But we have a lot of opposites too, like he is very math/science oriented and I'm an artsy creative person. Math is my enemy, and he doesn't know the difference between turquoise and sky blue.

I think is depends on each couple.  For instance, my husband and I have a lot in common - but we love spending lots of time with each other.  Whereas, my sister and her husband would rather do what they like individually, even if it meant spending less time with each other. 

We actually have a lot in common... we enjoy doing most of the same things, very similar tastes with a lot of things, etc.  A lot of people don't get how we're so similar and always wanting to do the same stuff together. 

But at the same time DH is an extrovert and I'm an introvert.  Also, he is more "fly by the seat of your pants" while I am more of a long-time planner... so we balance each other out really well.

Personality-wise, we are pretty opposite. He is a born performer, he's always "on" and needs to be entertaining everyone. I'm more quiet and reserved (though when I'm with close friends or a small group I definitely let loose and get silly).

In terms of interests, we are both into the same general stuff - art, music, comedy, etc. I don't think I'll ever get into his death metal music, though I did turn him on to They Might Be Giants and a bunch of my favorite bands.

We both are 'computer people" with 'IT jobs" we both love video games.

We both love renovating and making our house a home.

we definitely have different hobbies, likes and dislikes-but we both can have conversations about our jobs with one another at the end of the day...and the # 1 thing we share in common is our appreciation for humor, and laughter.

We love going to comedy clubs together.

So i guess you could say that we have what it takes to experience the serious stuff together and we both share the same sense of humor too.

We have a lot in common in terms of big decisions - we look at finances the same way, we both prefer beach vacations, love sports, etc.  For little things, we're similar in that we like our time alone and with our friends sometimes too.  So while we sometimes do things differently, we're generally in agreement about what we do together or separate.

DH and I have a lot in common I would say.  We both like sports, have a good sense of humor and appreciate what laughter can bring to our marriage.  We have the same values and beliefs and we want the same things in life for our family.

We agree on the big things, farm decisions, finances, religion, children. We both like outdoor activities and keep our yard and farm and house neat.

We are complete opposites in every other way though! I'm pretty outgoing, he likes to just sit back and observe. I'm into the social studies, he likes science. He couldn't careless about decorating the house..I don't like his taste in movies. I'm pretty tempermental, nothing's usually a big deal in his world.

We both have the same sense of humor though and that gets us through a lot.

I think it's important to have enough in common to create a bond, but enough that's different to stimulate interest, allow for "me-time", and lead to growth--both as a couple and individually.

things we have in common: our love of sports and the gators, our love of dogs--esp Marley, the beach, travel, our values and goals for our future, our sense of humor, DIY

things we don't have in common: I love to cook; he likes to work-out; I read avidly; he plays lots of mindless computer games; i like decorating; he loves scary movies;

Were kind of opposite.

The only thing we have in common is that we like to relax together, go to the beach/pool and have the same taste in the house stuff but other wise we are pretty opposite.

Dh and I are a lot alike in terms of our personalities and our goals in life, but we are completely different when it comes to hobbies.  

 I'm really social and have a lot of friends, while he doesn't prioritize that in his life.  I like movies, reading, museums, the outdoors (hiking, biking, etc.), board games, travel... he doesn't like any of those things (although he's come around on traveling a bit).  

He likes golf, fishing, and boating, and those are not things I really like doing so much.  

Still, we're good about tagging along with each other on these things, and we always have fun together regardless of the activity.  We do both enjoy spending time with our dogs, working out, dining out, and some other things... so that's good!  

 I don't mind that we're different in a lot of ways... it always keeps things interesting, and I learn about various things I never would have otherwise.   

Virtually nothing. We both like sports, but not necessarily the same ones. We dig holes together, working on stuff around the house or yard lol.

DH & I do not have a lot in common.  I'm not a big sports person except for a couple of sports (i.e. hockey or MMA) which I will watch with DH.  We do like some similar movies, but we really don't go to the movies much or rent them either. 

We enjoy doing "home" things together.  Meaning we enjoy doing yard work together or cooking. 

Otherwise, we are personality-wise opposites.  He's way more serious than I am.  He's got a drier sense of humor.  He's more of a planner and is always running early for his "On time".  Me, I'm way more relaxed about life.  I love to just fly by the seat of my pants.  I'm defintely the less serious one.  He acts like an old man and I can act like a kid. 

I love how our personalities are so different b/c he keeps me "grounded" and I think I help him to loosen up.  :)~

Our interests are different, such as...

-I'd like to shop, he'd rather work

-he likes TV, I'd rather be on the internet

-he is crazy about kids, I am crazy about dogs

-he likes to cuddle, I don't

etc,etc,etc

Our personalities are the same and we have the same sense of humor and crazy streak.
