It is important that two people do things together for a relationship to survive. No matter how compatible you seem to be, a couple will usually drift apart if all that you do is something for the bedroom. While the adage that opposites do, indeed, attract, there should always be certain similarities for the attraction to stay.
It has been a struggle for my girlfriend and I to maintain our relationship at first. I was an office guy, you see, and she was more liberated. Free from the trap of professional monotony, she says. Naturally, we had very different lifestyles, and we just couldn't keep up with one another.
One night, while out on a date, I noticed her wearing peculiar, but beautiful earrings that complemented her dress well. While not being made out of anything expensive, it turned out as an impressive piece of jewelry. I asked how she got it, at which point she proudly said that she did it herself. She felt joy by making these jewelry for herself, her friends, and her family.
Something clicked in my head after a while. Being of an entrepreneurial mind, I pitched an idea to her and tried to sell her the idea of, well, selling her crafts at a craft show. I could manage the business-side of it; I'll handle the talking to people part of the job so a stall could be organized. She would be in charge of making the supply of items to be sold, and we would be in business.
That was two years ago, and now our relationship is stronger than ever. We have started from a small part-time business to a full-blown job. I constantly go to the Florida Fairs website, look for the ideal venues for us, and talk to the event organizers to work out the best deal. On the other hand, she maintains friends on a more personal level; knowing and going out with other craftspeople that sell their wares.
