Instinct & Context

I've noticed...that my wife seems to be more able to move out of what she feels, on a daily basis -- do this today (or not).
I move more out of what I think things look like over the long-term - how things should be and what that means for today. This means I can tend to disregard what I feel today because it doesn't (shouldn't) matter in light of the greater goal...yes, some real flaws here -- do this everyday (or not at all).

She seems to be more instinctual.
I seem to be more contextual.

I love the freedom of her instinct.
I'm guessing she appreciates my more contextual orientation (at least, at times).

We both are both, but perhaps we each work from more of one than the other.
The beauty of it is that we borrow from each others' more, as we continue to both merge and differentiate ourselves at the same time.
