Spontaneity

This word is pronounced as spon-ter-nay-er-ti and not spon-ter-nay-ti! HAHA!
My mentor, Hwee Peck, shared with me something about her marriage. She is a spontaneous person by personality. She would drive to the beach for a walk at 12 m.n. or drop books off at the library at 11 p.m. Her husband is a super-planner. And I asked her, do you feel you’ve become less of yourself in this marriage? Her reply, of course! You can’t be totally yourself but you need to meet in the middle with your husband. It’s not about being less of yourself, but more of your husband, and your husband more of you. Her husband has learnt to be more fun and spontaneous. One night he packed the family off on a last minute trip to Bali the next day. In turn, Hwee Peck learns to follow her husband’s wishes when it comes to some of her spointaneous moments.
Best friends always know how to love each other. So romantic!
