During the honeymoon, the two lovebirds had a picture-book time. They basked in the joy of their new life together, with unhurried conversations, quiet moments of closeness and sightseeing in the mountains.

Penetrating the bliss, however, was a spat that would bring about hurt feelings and some confusion. She wanted a special momento of the time, a piece of pottery from a little shop. He was too practical to “waste” money on such a trivial expense, espcially one that “would probably only break before we get it home.” It took quite a while for those hurts to heal.

My wife and I have known each other since 1983, and during the years we’ve been together we’ve enjoyed - even delighted - in the differences between us. Early on, however, we had more than a few instances of learning about those differences, and some of those events were pretty difficult to work through. That honeymoon illustration reflects what we had to deal with during our first week together.

Married couples know all too well that there are inevitably significant differences between them. Bill and Pam Farrell speak knowledgably about those differences, offering excellent insight and some wonderful humor along the way. Every married couple should hear this two-day series. Why not copy the link and send it onto someone who might benefit from their thoughts?
