Disclaimer: Since I left my camera at home, I will be posting once more tonight to share my pictures/adventures from Vegas!
Today, I have (re) learned a very valuable lesson. Men and women are different, and that's okay. We won't always agree, and that's okay too.
President Ezra Taft Benson told us, "Women were not created to be the same as men." As simple as that statement is, it is something I definitely needed to hear. The talk continues on to tell us that our attributes are meant to complement each other. There is a reason we have fundamental differences.
Sometimes pouring out all of my feelings is not the best idea, but sometimes it is exactly what I need. Sometimes the silence is what makes a moment so great, but sometimes laughter is better. Sometimes it's fun to go out on a romantic date, but sometimes a night in is just as good. Sometimes a tickle fight is necessary, but sometimes a hug is better.
.... And my husband gets that. (Thank goodness!)
It can be frustrating when someone else just "doesn't understand," but when we take a moment to step back and see the big picture, there is nothing better than having someone around to challenge you.
I am so grateful for a husband who isn't just like me. He challenges me, and helps me to grow in ways that are rewarding. The best part is that he is patient with me along the journey. He knows I am not perfect, and I know he isn't either. But it is so good to have someone next to me who is trying to be better, and who helps me to be better all at the same time.
Men and women are different. And that's okay.
