Marriage

I have seen relationships fail because one person was very outgoing 
and the other was very withdrawn; an extrovert married an introvert.
So often, opposite personalities marry each other.

Everyone should have boundaries, but some people have few boundaries
and some people have many, many boundaries.

An extrovert cannot be forced into a monastical lifestyle,
and an introvert will likely never become a social butterfly.

But when we marry, we now have another person to include when setting our boundaries.
The same goes with each child born into the family.
A family is a group of people with differing personalities that must be considered.
Each child will have his or her own personality. 
Some will be ballerinas, and some will be bookworms.

If you've ever heard that a certain person divorced because they were bored in their marriage, it was probably an attention-seeking extrovert that married a quiet-loving introvert.

But God says that marriage should be lifelong, so people need to bear down
and make it work.
