  1. When it comes to balancing and complementing each other…
    • We are opposites. For example, my guy is a morning person who's always up-and-at-'em, while I'm more laidback and like to sleep in late (or vise versa).
    • The strengths and abilities I admire most about him are exactly what I need to develop more in myself.
    • We bring out the best in each other sometimes, not always.
    • We are so much alike that we barely ever argue about anything.
  1. When we first met…
    • We didn't have a deep connection, and still kind of feel like strangers sometimes.
    • It was love at first sight. Something deep inside my soul was ignited.
    • At least one of us knew right away we were meant for each other.
    • There were no sparks at first, but now that I have gotten to know him, he's everything I could ask for in a guy.
