Opposites Attract

My husband and I certainly are opposites in many ways.

One of those ways that struck me recently is in our way of communicating and processing our thoughts. My mind moves at the speed of light, he takes more time to think things through.

 I will bring up a topic of conversation and fire 500 questions immediately. Then my mind goes off in a gazillion other directions before he has a chance to process. By the time he replies, half the time I don't even realize we're still on the same topic as original because I've jumped ahead so far. If I was more unaware of these differences I might conclude that he didn't care about the topic of conversation that I brought up or that I wasn't important enough to him to listen to.

But I am trying to learn to slow myself down and give him time to listen to me. I hope he is doing the same for me by trying to come to a conclusion more quickly. If he's not, my mind shudders to think how slow he really would be!
