[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine having a totally docile spouse would be totally boring, like like having a ridiculously intense spouse would be totally exhausting.

Like almost all personality traits, everything is best in moderation.

My DH loves that I am strong willed and smart and opinionated. He also loves that I'm kind and not rigid and able to go with the flow and resolve arguments peacefully and constructively.

How do you have passion with someone who's not passionate about anything? [/quote]

Why would you assume that submissive people have no passions? I'm sure they do, they are human too. The difference is, they don't feel the need to jam their opinions and viewpoints down other people's throats or get their way all the time.[/quote]

I think you're simplifying a large spectrum into two pretty extreme camps. I think of someone on the extreme end of docile as someone that never really seeks out their own desires, at least not at the expense of virtually anyone's time/trouble. And I think of passion as something that drives people to seek it out or advocate for or whatever for whatever they are passionate about. So IMO a docile person can be passionate and likely unhappy as they are constantly quashing it, but more likely, just be a kind of c'est la vie whatever kind of a person. Which is fine I guess, not something that sounds very satisfying to me but certainly I'm sure that person would make someone very happy.

On the other end, there's a difference between someone who like, can't interact with people who share different viewpoints without turning it into a federal case or always pushing to make things happen THEIR way on THEIR timeline.

As I said in my post, its generally the space in between that is desirable. But not to everyone of course.
