Prepping.

At the suggestion (not demand, though I've teased her plenty to the contrary) of our dear friend and officiant Krysta, D and I have begun to see a pre-marital counselor. Lest you get all your knickers in a bunch, rest assured that our relationship is as strong as ever. I agree 100% with the reasoning behind it--it's an opportunity to talk to someone impartial about any existing issues we each may have with the relationship, as well as any issues that could potentially rise up later (babies, house-buying, dabbling with the Occult, etc.).

We had our second session yesterday, at which Linda gave us each a sheet of paper. She told us it was a quick version of the Meyer Briggs test, used to determine what type of personality you are. She explained that it's good to get an idea of what type of personality we each have, so we can learn the best ways to communicate, interact, and (in our case) grow old with another person without going batty.

It was a simple front-and-back piece of paper with about 20 questions. She reviewed each of our sheets and tabulated as we watched. It's silly, but I was nervous. What if our results revealed that we were destined to be miserable together?

Breathe easy, friends. Turns out we're not only compatible, but exactly the same personality type. I believe the term was Internal Intuitive Feeling Judging, or INFJ. Our particular type apparently occurs in only 1% of the population, so the fact that we found each other at all is pretty special. But I already knew that...
