He is definitely WAY more patient than I am. And he is very confident in himself, something I definitely lack. I strive to be more like him in these areas every day
She is a very strong willed person that not matter if I'm lost she will alway make it ok
He's definitely more of a people person than I, so that helps a ton..
She is much more caring and soft-hearted then I am.
He is incredibly smart, so much fun and witty. His weaknesses? I think maybe his need to be connected to technology? He does have a better ability to balance the two lately though.... I am grateful he can put down the laptop and phone.

One of the biggest strengths my husband compensates with for my weakness is the ability to live in the here and now. I focus too much on the future and planning for the future that I forget to enjoy what we are experiencing now. He helps me to stop and smell the roses.
He is let's say "freakishly" smart and really witty. He doesn't say much in a conversation with friends but when he does oh boy is it epic and i am I on the floor laughing!
She is far more compassionate than I am and has a loving spirit that I cannot match. She's strong willed and not afraid to voice her opinion.
My weakness is not being comfortable out in places or just being too strict sometimes. I get mentally drunk around her sometimes.
So organized w schedules timing and general concern for others' well being. I'm not good at keeping track of those things. I wish I could like her
She is so amazing. I hope her amazingness rubs off on me. She is very spiritual and I could do better in that area. She helps me want to be better.
His constant drive and curiosity, I aspire to be more curious like him. The world is a buffet of knowledge and an endless road of possibilities. It is fantastic to share a life with someone who is so spontaneous and charismatic.
He is more confident and self-assured, which helps pick me up when I'm not feeling too good about myself
He thinks things through beforehand, whereas I am quick to act in impulse.
She can kick my butt when it needs to be kicked; something I sorely need sometimes.
