Loved this column. Your “It occurs to me that as parents, we would never consider divorcing our children when they are unreasonable or difficult to live with. On the contrary, we do everything we can to nurture and mend the relationship.” offers such a terrific perspective that, I think, most people don’t consider. But with two adults, I think pride often gets in the way — who will be the first to extend to the other? Will the receiver open his/her heart to accept the gift being offered? Can each understand how the other perceives? Yes, communication is key – as well as trust in the other person to let you show your vulnerability. I’ve always thought it important that my spouse know he is THE most important piece of my life, and it’s contributed to 42+ good years together.

Janet, thank you once again for sharing your perspective with LuvYa.com. I love your insight and always look forward to reading your comments. I especially love the point you make about “balance”. Strong opinions, like a strong cup of black coffee, occasionally need a little cream and a dash of sugar for others to enjoy our take on the world.

You’ve pointed out some very important things including that, as human beings, we do not simply remain the same as when we were born but, instead, spend our lives developing and, as you said, morphing. Another point is that many of those developments are affected by the people we choose to spend our lives with — which might be why long-married couples are more similar to one another at the end of their lives than they were at the start of their relationships. And finally – for me, at least – the benefit of couples using a tool like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which simply reflects each individual’s preferences through questions/answers, is that each can create a quicker understanding and appreciation for what their complementary type brings to the party. My husband sees things very differently from me, so I know to always ask his viewpoint to balance out my own opinion and get a fresh perspective.

Well, I haven’t taken the Meyers Briggs test, and my spouse hase, but it was many years ago. Still, a blind person could see how opposite we are, and how much it works for us….once you get past the learning curve!

I haven’t read “Please Understand Me”, but I will definitely have to give it a read. Wow..amazing that you married an INTJ as well, apparently these types make up a very small percentage of the the population. My test results were were arbitrary on the N F…was kind of in the middle, the E was obviously spot on. I’m happy for you. Thank you. From 19 years old to now, we have had quite an interesting journey together. We are both completely different people than we were in 1980, and I believe more well-rounded, open minded and balanced human beings.

Interesting! The Meyers Briggs test is fascinating. Have you read the book “Please Understand Me”? It goes into detail about the personality types. My husband is also INTJ and I am ENFP , the best match for each oyher according to Meyers Briggs. I guess there is something to be said about 2nd marriages! And, I am proud of you and Kevin for making it work.
