God created us so differently. boys and girls look at the same problem and go:
BOY: "Hmmm...let's see how do we solve this?"
GIRL: "Oh...let's see how we get you feeling better."
This whole difference in thinking has caused many disappointments, heartaches and unnecessary sadness. seems like there's no real cure for this except i don't know...tolerance?
easier said than done. it's so difficult to be tolerant when it's about something so opposite. such thinking is so opposite from each other.
1 Pet 3:7 says, "Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."
i really wonder why God wrote it in such a way. dwell with understanding. He must've known our differences. yet He still made us compatible. in the great mystery which is our God, he made us compatible yet completely different. i don't know how to deal with that! how to be compatible yet different!
and there's this thing about dating. how much of yourself should you reveal or show and not scare the other party away?
ie. reveal too much, scare other party away.
reveal too little, other party doesn't know you.
Courtship is about discovering the person and seeing if the person is who you wanna marry. if so, is revealing too much a bad thing? i mean...you do need to know who're marrying before you marry. imagine after marriage if you didn't know the person! but then again, we do need to guard our hearts.
I know, i believe the answer is to do it over time. open up over time, reveal bit by bit, allow the person time to accept these issues.
i don't know why we're like that. we can't seem to understand each other. everything i say doesn't seem to come out right. everything i do seems to be the direct opposite of how its supposed to be. i'm scared. i don't wanna lose you. i think if we go on like this, we'll end up apart. that's scary.
I love you.
