It’s only been a few days since he graced us with his presence, but so far there haven’t been any major disagreements or personality conflicts. This might have to do with the over 2 decades of friendship we shared. Throughout the past 20 odd years, Yogger and I have been through many, many things together. One might think it unusual that it took till now to actually try living together. In fact, we always knew there were certain things about each other that might cause friction…so we never wanted to risk our friendship before. Maturity can bring about many things and cooperation is one of them. We both acknowledge that which might bother us and we coordinated a plan to deal with these issues.
I’m reminded of an old program I used to watch a very long time ago. Some might only remember it by the movie that was made recently with the same name and premise, but it used to be an old sitcom. The name was “The Odd Couple.” It is about two very different men who come to share an apartment together. I can’t remember if they knew each other before they moved in, or if they just came to meet by chance. Yog and I are very much like those two men. One of us is organized, the other disorganized. One of us is spontaneous, the other plans even his visits to the porcelain throne. God made us very different, just like He made my wife and I very different.I know from the nearly 2 years I’ve been married that the differences between my wife and I can compliment each other if we know how to do it. Not to say there are never screeching halts in our agreement, but we have learned to work through them with communication. This will be the same with Yog and me. Perhaps this might even be a learning experience for what comes ahead for him once he gets married. Only God will tell.
