it is said that usually in a relationship, if one is fire, then the other has to be water for the relationship to go well for a long time. meaning if one is hotheaded, then the other has to be calm preferably in a relationship. how true is this and what is your reason for saying what you did?

I agree with this. But most of all, both parties should learn to accept their mistakes and understand their partners more. In every arguments, it gives pain and aches to the couple. Accepting ones mistakes right away and be sorry for what happened will surely make up for whatever problems you have together.

it has never been so true. if only people could accept their ugly sides easily,there wouldn't be so much problems. but then life wouldn't be fun at all too. thanks for responding.

yes,fire and water go well with each other in daily human relationship but at the same time both fire and water have their own responsibility to each other.

I guess maybe in astrological way its true. In practical living people can change. In my opinion it is not about being hotheaded or calm. Its more on compromising on both sides. I prefer to have a relationship where both parties give out ideas or thoughts, evalaute it and come to a decision. If it doesnt work i guess it is best either get a trusted 3rd party or one of us comprise. But in my religion it is important to see the astrology of an indiviual. So during relationship both parties do see it and found good life partners..so i guess at the end of the day it depends on our beliefs.

It is true,but not for everybody because you see there are people how like to be every day on fire and that makes the relancionship to be more spices,or the both of them are calm,and they like it because it is paceful.But i think a lot of relantionship are hot-could because we need diversity in our life,and you know what they say the same poles are rejected,but the opposite poles are attract one another.

yes true. i also know about the saying of opposite attracts and all. in fact, i love characters like those when i'm reading my manga. hehe but yes, not all people are as mentioned. some might be the same too as you have said. thanks so much for responding.

I think people sometimes tend to switch off in their relationships. When I am having a moment of weakness, my husband steps up the be the strong one. The opposite is true when my husband is struggling. We don't ever get angry at each other, so I can't really say regarding your "hotheaded" example. Most couples do have traits that compliment each other, though. If one is careless with money, the other will most likely be frugal with finances. I think that in order for a relationship to really work, people have to compliment each other and have some opposite traits. I think people that are exactly alike in every way would end up hating each other.

you have a point there. people who're exactly alike might not be well suited that well too. but both you and your husband have a great relationship. i wish that was the case for me too but still, i'm fine as i'm used to it. like you said, i think we complement each other. for example, i'm a lazy person who doesn't like housework whereas he can't stand it if he finds the house too messy for his tastes which usually is. hehe thanks for responding.
