Do you and your spouse think alike?

My wife and I have been together for around 12years, and married 5 of them 12 years :)

Anyways, more times than not at any random time of any day when I go to call her the phone will ring in my hand :eek: Its her calling me, or it's the other way around... I do call her and the phone rings in her hand just as she was going to call me. :eek:

Or, at random I will be thinking Pizza tonight at the local NY style Pizza place... When I get home she says, " I was thinking Pizza tonight at Sal's." :eek: Or taking our kids to the many different parks around her... We think about going to the same one.

Just lots of stuff like that everyday, it's cool to be on the same wavelength :thumbup:

I'm sure many other couples have this same thing going on, right? :)

We are not psychic like you and your wife, but Mrs. Powernoodle and I are pretty much on the same dang wavelength. We are pretty conservative across the board - socially, politically, culturally, economically, . . . . Dated for 7 years, married for 17.

By far the best decision I ever made was to marry her. You marry the right person, and everything else in life seems to fall right in place.

:thumbup:
 
Yes So-Lo. This happens with us: finish each others sentences, the phone ringing; picking up things the other person was just wanting/needing; jokes. We seem to zig and zag together, except when we dance;) OTOH we can both think that we are talking about the same thing and neither of us has a clue what the other one meant; total communication meltdown.

One of my best memories of being in the same place at the same time (when it counted) was in a live concert we performed with a pianist. Despite the fact that she is a highly acclaimed artist, etc, etc. she dropped several measures in the midst of a complicated piece. SOMEHOW (???) we both jumped excactly together finding the pianist, neither of us missing a beat. There was no time to think, figure out where she was, only react. To this day we don't know how to explain it.

Like you Powernoodle we have the same ideas about life and people, politics incl. so getting along is a piece of cake. (25 yrs in the rear view mirror).
 
Nope.

Been married 26 years. Raised two kids. I love her a bunch. But we are not on the same wavelength.
 
I am lucky, married the right one this time. It is our 2nd Anniversary tonight, and we both wrote on each others card that we treasured our marriage. Neither one of us generally use that word much. My wife and I are also similar socially, spiritually, and politically. It does make for a harmonious life.
 
Vive la differance?! We have similarities by way of sharing the same home, kids, dog. Her hobbies and mine are different but we think first of the other before acting so we work well together. We often misread one another but we do ask each other opinions and thoughts if we are able and if we are not accept the others decision regardless.
 
Wife and I definitely do not think a like (in most things, anyway).

She's right-brain, I'm left-brain.
She's a little messy, I'm a neat freak.
She's even-keeled, I've got a little temper.

We've been married for 31 years.
 
So-Lo-

After 33 years, my wife & I don't seem to have the telepathy
you describe. Mutual love and respect work for us--maybe
that's a kind of telepathy afterall? So glad things are good
for you both.

You are both doing something right to have been married 33 years :D

The only think I can think about us thinking alike, is that we are 27 years old. So if you do the math, we darn near grew up together. :) (All though we are still learning new things everyday, and I'm sure that will never stop... and Im not so sure I'd want it to stop ;))


Great posts so far :thumbup:

In fact just the other day I learned our recliner is "a asshole chair." :D (She thinks it's time for a new chair... Ie. it would not let her get comfortable)
 
Today I called a friend I don't talk to, or about very often. When I got home she says....
You should give Josh a call. :D I said I DID! lol I'm following orders before I get them now :D
 
Hey So-Lo it just happened again. Been doing my email this AM, flipping back and forth on the web. My need thought : email the other half to find out about a bank deposit.

I return to the email and voila, the answer is sitting in my in box.--saved and entire email, so I have time to make this post.:D

We should start a palm reading service :D
 
Yes. I have learned to think what she wants me to think. It makes our life much easier!
 
Yuppers, we are very much that same way!! 16 + years, and I couldn't BE happier!!
 
Together 17, married 13.

We are very different on many levels, some of them we have to avoid, just to keep from fighting, but on everything else, we are on the same wavelength.

Just an hour ago, she called about something or other, and in the middle of a sentence she asks, "So, did you enjoy...?" I could tell she was online, and distracted from the rest of her sentence, and I said, "Yes, it was fun" And she goes on with her other conversation, and neither of us specifically identified the subject, although we both knew what was going on.

We find ourselves laughing at quips that neither of us said out loud, but either one of us could have said, or predicted the other would say.

If anyone watches "How I met your mother" and knows of those "silent conversations" they have, we're just like that.
