They say opposites attract, but I’d be inclined to argue that opposites don’t stay together, not for the long hall at least.  As far as things go to be opposites on, gaming tends to be pretty clear cut: you are either for it, engaging in it as a hobby and a passion or you’re against it, regarding it as childish and a waste of time.  Stereotypically, the example always tends to be a less-than-attentive husband and a nagging wife.  But what about couples who are both into gaming?  What about the couple who can both scream a blood curdling war cry and slaughter the enemy and spend tender moments curled on the couch together? Mark and I are this couple, and we’ve learned alot from gaming.

Teamwork- One person takes the hits, the other heals them without running away (not that I’ve ever ran mind you… no seriously).

Trust – Learning to rely on your healer, aka the wife, who has assured you she isn’t going to run away and leave you to die this time.

Respect – You want the acheivement and by God, everyone in the room is staying until you get it.

Communication – “FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHAT THE F IS THAT A-HOLE DOING? NEED HEALS NOW PLEASE!”

Compromise – I got the last piece of loot, you can have this one.

Acceptance - You’re far more elite than I will ever be.

Committment- You mean to say we’ve been on this raid for 5 hours?
