Congratulations indeed!!
I don't know why, for sure, but when 2 people with so many differences (as related to other male-female couples), can develop such a bond, it gives me so much hope for humanity. It makes me wonder of the similarities you mention; and how they strengthen the bond.........ughh, sorry that was getting a bit personal.
Bless you both, and thanx very much, for sharing this lovely news.
