Personalities
(3 sections)

Part of making relationships work - is understanding personalities and perspectives.
Have you ever lost control of yourself in a situation,
then after your world exploded, you wondered why?
Read on.

God is all-knowing.
He knows everything we are going to do, before we do it.
How does that work?

My belief: God knows each of our personalities so completely
that He can decipher our next move by knowing exactly who we are.

Your mama often knew what you were going to do before you did it.
How is that?
Because she knew what you would do in a given situation.
And God is far smarter than your mama.

Here is a helper book for you.

Tim La Haye's book divides personalities into four major types and then several combinations.
This helps us identify ourselves and then catalog our emotional strengths and weaknesses.
This helps us avoid blow-ups and melt-downs.

And as we begin to understand ourselves and others,
we can draw on our strengths, 
but also begin to wrestle with the faulty parts of our personalities
and retrain ourselves to practice better behaviors.

Married couples who go through this book together will improve together.
And will train their children to be better at life.

Extroverts and Introverts

To be wise about marriage, we must also understand introverts and extroverts:

Extroverts are those who love gatherings, parties, waves of people.

Introverts enjoy solitude. There are a lot of memes about introverts on the internet.
If an introvert owned a party bus, it would probably look like this ------->

Ambiverts are a little of both, and struggle with it.
I am an ambivert.
PERSONALITIES

male and female

Men and women think differently, for several reasons.
It's partly about biology, partly upbringing, partly local culture, partly personal ideals and morals.
Accept that fact, and try to understand why your mate feels the way they do
before deciding how to proceed when disagreeing.
