Doyle and I have started to play "Farkle" in the mornings, right after breakfast while we drink our tea. I've come to the conclusion playing this game with Doyle, that how we play the game explains a lot about each of us. Mostly, that I am cautious (I'll bet no one knew that!) 
And Doyle? I'll bet you didn't know that he likes to take risks! Anyone that knows him knows that he doesn't mind "living on the edge". He would say though that he thinks very carefully about the risks he takes and the edge-living. So, we roll the dice, I'll get 500 points first roll, I could roll again and usually opt for keeping my points. He on the other hand, will roll 500 points and risk it all to see if he can get more points. 
I wish I could say I always win playing cautiously, and he always loses playing risky, but it's usually 50-50. So it seems in life we should be willing to take risks as well as live cautiously at times. We are good for each other, pushing and pulling each other back or towards the precipice at times. Life would be a total bore if we were always cautious and life would end up in a mess if we were always acting out our risk taking. Wisdom is what is called for in this "game of life."

It's wonderful the way God uses marriage to fill in each others strengthens and weaknesses.
Spence is so good with money and numbers, and I'm better at relationships
