35 years here. We were in our late 20s, so full-grown adults who knew how to take care of themselves. I already owned a home, was a career woman, etc. We are opposites in terms of personality, so together we cover a lot of strength areas that help balance us out in negotiating life. He’s extroverted, facts-minded, and ever so logic leaning. I’m introverted, more intuitive, and ever so feeling/subjectivity leaning. I will take more risks (I recently went to Peru solo) and he looks for how to avoid risks. Our differences have been the source of many arguments, but ultimately, we have learned from the other. In our 60s now, I’m curious how we will each handle the aging process going forward, how we will carry out our philosophies of life as older people, and how we will negotiate the expectations of the other.
