I have decided there are three distinct types of couples. Hot blooded, Lovey Dovey and what I will deem “Meh”.

Hot Blooded: My husband’s cousin falls into this category. She and he husband are always at each other; arguing, picking, and bemoaning each other. To me, that sounds miserable, but to them it’s perfect. They like the spark, they enjoy getting under each others skin.

For example, over Thanksgiving she comes in the house bearing tasty treats but no husband. A brave soul dared to ask “Where’s Sean?” To which she replied “Don’t know.” This same brave soul asked “When is he going to be here?” And she said “Don’t know, don’t care.” Sing it with me now, AWK-WARD!! He pulled up 5 minutes later and explained is was mad that he was going to a football game later that night. They argued a little in the kitchen until he just walked away because he didn’t want to make a scene.

Later that night when I was talking to her she told me that’s just how they are and she wouldn’t want it any other way. To them it add fire and passion to the relationship.

Lovey Dovey: My husband and I fit into this category. We like peace, quiet, tranquility and plenty of physical contact. I’m not talking full-on PDA or anything, but we touch each other when we walk into a room - a kiss on the check or something like that. We don’t like arguing and really work hard to get disagreements done, over with, and put away. If tiny cartoon hearts could rise from my head when he walks into a room, they would. For us, passion comes from tranquility. I’m sure we make people like his cousin sick to her stomach. She’s probably wondering why we’d like to live like this!

Meh: You may have seen this word used around the innernets. It’s sort of a lazy sound. Like, if someone asks if you’d like to get Chinese and you’re not really in the mood but you really don’t care, you might reply with a lackluster “meh”. So a Meh couple is one that just sort of exists. No real spark coming from either frustration, teasing, romance, passionate debate - NOTHING. You go through your life with the title of Husband or Wife but you live more like roommate than anything else. It’s sad really. And I’m not calling ANYONE out of this one. Nope. No Way. Ok, maybe Bill and Hillary Clinton. I don’t think there’s ever been passion with in realm of their relationship. But I can call them out because I don’t know them and it’s super doubtful they will read this and not invite me to their next party.

What kind of couple are you? Hot blooded? Lovey Dovey? Hopefully it’s not Meh. Am I missing categories?
