She might not be geeky but she understands me

I was just reading Chris Pirillo’s post [nw] where he was talking about how he just can’t seem to geekify his wife.

I can’t get Ponzi to laugh at my Monty Python references, sit down and watch one of the original Star Wars movies, or readily admit that Captain Picard was *WAY* more awesome than Captain Kirk. All things considered, I’m happy to have a hot chick for a wife – geek or not.

Well I can definitely relate to that but as I come up on my 53rd birthday and 16 years with my wife I can say this – it doesn’t matter if the woman of your life is a geek or not as long as they understand and accept what drives you forward and supports you with all her heart.

I am that lucky and for that I will love my beautiful wife and great friend for as long as we are alive

From a time now past :)

this is a picture from many years ago now but
the love and friendship has only gotten stronger.

Hey, like this post? Why not share it with a buddy?

    I've come to this realization as well. What's more important is that we understand each other and respect our differences

    Yeah, but now she's taking the whole “I don't understand” thing to a completely new level. :P

    i'm with you there. my partner and i don't share the same interests but the important thing, at least to me, is that he supports me in what i do. if only i could say the converse were true. :-)
