30/07/18. That Personality profoundly Influences Behavior

Word count:
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

Book review: Things I wish I'd known before we got married

No one questions the axiom that we are all unique. The question is, how unique? I wish I'd known that personality (those characteristics that make us unique) would profoundly affect our marriage.

Before we got married, I dreamed about how wonderful it would be to get up every morning and have breakfast with my wife. After we got married, I found out that Karolyn didn't do mornings. Breakfast was not her "thing." Upon reflection I did remember that during the dating years, she told me, "Don't call me in the mornings. I'm not responsible for what I say or do before noon." I took it as a joke and laughed. I never called her in the morning because I was busy "doing my own things."
After marriage I discovered that she was serious. My dream of a quiet romantic breakfast with my wife was shattered in the first month of our marriage. I was left to eat breakfast in silence, except for the songs the birds were singing outside the window.
