Friend-husband likes the shower curtain closed when no one
is using it, because he doesn’t think the bathtub is the loveliest part of the
bathroom. I like it open because it
makes the bathroom seem bigger and I love the extra light from the window. Besides. there is nothing lovely about our
plain-jane dollar store shower curtains.
Friend-husband likes things perfectly symmetrical. I prefer things a little a-symmetrical. We had a hanging plant on one side of our doorstep. It looked just right to me. Friend-husband bought another plant so that
we could hang one on each side. He likes
balance.
I am addicted to clutter.
Friend Husband likes things tidy.
I admire tidiness, but I can’t seem to manage it. Friend-husband over-prepares. I sometimes throw things together. He fusses over details. I embrace simplicity. I am casual.
Friend –husband leans toward the formal side.
Differences are fascinating.
I’m glad we’re not the same. I adore Friend-husband and I celebrate our
differences.
Except for the shower curtain.

Differences add to life, don't they? :) And I can never keep the shower curtain closed because I'm still occasionally freaked out that there might be someone behind it. :D (Paranoia at its finest)
What a beautiful post. My friend-husband and I live this same life, and I have grown wise enough to love it and embrace it, finally!
