Concrete and Marble

What is it about concrete and marble? Well, this is a description which Rebecca came up with to describe the difference between herself and me.

I am described as 'concrete' because I feel warm easily when exposed to the sun. And once I start to feel warm, it would take some time for me to cool down. It normally requires me to escape into a road-side 7-11 convenience store, brisk walk into an air-con shopping centre, rush into the MRT (though often MRT rides are not that spacious and breezy due to crowds) or flee into my own favourite hiding place (i.e. my own room) and turn on the air-con.

For Rebecca, she described herself as 'marble' because she feels cold easily when exposed to air-con or even the slightest strong wind. Perhaps we really have different type of skin. Hers is more porous, whereas mine is more resilient.

Hmm... God really made us different... and every time I think of this, I would think about our ex-CG leaders Gordon and Linah. Both of them are indeed very different. So different until I wonder how they can co-lead so effectively in our CG several years back. I wonder how they live under the same roof together. I wonder if they quarrel often. I wonder how they resolve conflict. Aha! This is a very crucial issue because I struggle with this with Rebecca too. Maybe we should seek their counsel, as we progress in our marriage together.
