All the successful relationships I know of are made up of one rock and one kite…
The Rocks in Relationships
The rock is the one that thinks with their head and not their heart, (do NOT read “heartless” or “cold-hearted” here), can be counted on to tell you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it, can handle the truth even when it’s not pretty, and always seems to have their feet firmly on the ground. This person has firm beliefs (I did NOT say “narrow-minded”), morals, and ideals. They are extremely loyal and dedicated to their partner. They are also very appreciative of the role that their kite plays in their relationship.
The Kites in Relationships
The kite, on the other hand, likes to soar. This person has a great imagination, is often creative, is a bit of a dreamer, and can be impulsive. Many decisions, good and bad, are made based on emotion. Kites love to meet new people, take on new challenges, and rise to the occasion. They often need to be tugged back to the ground (read “reality” here) by their rock before they make irreversible and expensive mistakes.
Which are You?
I am well aware of which one I am and am extremely grateful that my husband is my rock. The voice of reason coupled with unconditional love and support has helped me through the most challenging and stressful times in my life to date.
Which one are you? The rock or the kite? Whichever you are, make sure you have the other in your relationship to complement each other for success.
Look around you, how many successful relationships that you know of do not have one rock and one kite?
OMG! This is so totally my husband and me 🙂 guess which one I am, lol!

Reblogged this on quirkywritingcorner and commented:
Can’t I be a bit of both?
Good post. This is so true.
Aha. This perfectly describes me and the fiance. Is it weird though that most people who commented and said they are kites are women? Aren’t there any kite men out there? And rock women?
Haha.. Good to see at least one exception!
