Book review: Things I wish I'd known before we got Married
Professors and Dancers
Some people are extremely logical in their reasoning. They progress through rational steps and reach what to them is a logical conclusion. Other people simply know in their heart what is right in a given situation. They cannot tell you why or how they reached that conclusion; they simply know that it is the right decision.
I have sometimes called the logical thinker the professor. For the professor, everything must be reasoned out. “We must have logical reasons for everything we do. If it is not logical, we shouldn’t do it.” The intuitive person is more like the dancer. “We don’t need logical reasons for everything we do. We do some things simply because we enjoy them. I don’t know why. Do I always have to know why? I want to do it just because.” Before marriage the professor was enamored with the intuitive wisdom of the dancer while the dancer was proud of the professor’s logic.
However, after marriage the professor is slowly driven insane by the same illogical behavior, while the dancer wonders how she can continue living with a person so obsessed with reason.
One husband said to his wife,
“Trish, listen to me. The walls are not dirty; they don’t need painting again. Don’t you understand that?”
His wife responded,
“Yes, I understand that. But I don’t want green walls any longer.”
The professor has a difficult time making decisions based on desire. The dancer cannot imagine why anyone would want to be held in the prison of logic.
If you try to force each other into your own personality mold, you may spend a lifetime in conflict.
