Read the story, up there ^^ Liz posted it, and all they did was enter a contest together, then a quick trip to the ER...Pound Foolish wrote:What's this about a Connie+Jason love story in Clubhouse? You guys have got to be exaggerating. If not, I'll sue the editors for billions of dollars damages.
Well, they don't have to be similar to be a good couple. Sometimes people who are very different get married and live together for their entire lives on a daily basis. That doesn't mean there isn't conflict, but if they are committed to each other, it doesn't matter. (like my mother was saying today incidentally. She and dad are like total opposites, and they often have...disagreements of opinion, but at the end of the day, it is love that keeps them together, no matter how rough things get, or not.Shtakji wrote:Haha, that story was awesome, poor Jason.
I really don't think Jason and Connie would cope well as a couple.They have more of a brother-sister relationship going. If they lived together on a day-to-day basis,I believe their personalities would clash.

Besides, if there's conflict, it makes for an interesting story.
I have to agree with PF, even though I REALLY want Connie and Jason to get married.Pound Foolish wrote:Why, thank you Vic. I like to think of myself as a shameless romantic. And I have to admit, it would be nice in many ways if Jason married Tasha. But I have my heart set on Monica.
Ameraca, your opinions on AIO are always very strong and well-thought out. But in this rare case, you're wrong.
You, "don't have to be similar to be a good couple"...
Of course not. Why shouldn't a reindeer fall in love with a purple alien?
We can agree there is in fact a line where dissimilarities become a problem. But it seems you have an incorrect idea of where that line is. You go ahead and assume any difference can be overcome by love. But love can't. Because love is aroused by similarities. J+C proponents never tire of the saying, "opposites attract."
True. But you don't marry someone because you're an architect and your date is a wrecking-ball worker. You marry someone because, say, you love books and someone else loves books. If you adored to write but someone else couldn't understand your passion, would you be likely to fall in love with him?
And of course, relationships have to be based on one particular similarity: Christianity.
Also, Connie left Mitch because their differences held them apart. "I was terrified." Connie earnestly explains to Mitch, who thinks danger is fun.
You do have to have things in common for love to work.
Opposites attract. But similarities hold lovers together.

......Umm.... I was? Not exactly..... were you joking? I was just pointing out something with what you said...Pound Foolish wrote:... Um... How passionate. Well, remind me to get you an old chair for you birthday.
Anyhow, I know you were partly joking. But for what it's worth, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I SAID.
Well, I guess my parents should have gotten divorced a long time ago, then. Seriously, they have almost nothing in common, except God and us kids and a common house. Oh, and a long history of good and bad times together. They were much more similar when they got married, but then Dad stopped doing the things Mom liked to do. They could have called it quits. But they didn't. Why? Because of Commitment. "Till death do us part" and all that.Pound Foolish wrote:Why, thank you Vic. I like to think of myself as a shameless romantic.
