God bless him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe you are too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David is a carefree spirit whose motto in college was, <em>If I can crawl over it, I can sleep on it<\/em>. He eats whatever I cook and seldom notices piles of laundry or dirty dishes. If an opportunity for fun or adventure presents itself, he\u2019s all in. He\u2019ll figure out the details later. He\u2019ll abandon even the best laid plans to help someone in need\u2014especially children and the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I\u2019m the exact opposite.<\/strong> I emerged from the womb with a desire to organize, control, and direct.

I preferred (yes, past tense) projects and plans over people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In adulthood, structure helped me adapt to the chaos of new motherhood. No napping in the car for my babies. They had to be nestled into their cribs at 10 am and 1 pm. I wasn\u2019t totally rigid. I was spiritually mature enough to recognize that if nap time conflicted with Sunday church, naptime could wait. But I admit, even then I chafed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My gift of organization and love of structure helped our home, and later our homeschooling, run smoothly. One daughter, a firstborn like me, thrived. The second, a free-spirited people-person like my husband, survived. Now a mother herself, she\u2019s striking her own balance between spontaneity and structure. Enough structure to keep her kids alive. Enough spontaneity to make it fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now that our girls are out of our house, my husband is the sole beneficiary of my gifts. <\/strong>Since I love to plan my free time, I assume he\u2019ll appreciate helpful suggestions for how to spend his Saturday. I share ideas for how we should spend our time, money, or energy. But sometimes I forget he has ideas, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the time, he overlooks my bossiness.
