My wife and I are kind of a funny couple.
She does 80% of the talking, with me taking up the balance (although when I am permitted to speak, it is with a remarkable level of profundity - just kidding on all counts).
And she is much more animated (a delicate, well-chosen word), while I am the calming influence in the relationship (I hope from practicing the steps of AA).
I am extremely protective of my wife, and she is of me.
All in all, we have been very blessed in every respect.
