Answer: Lots of couples work really well with interests at the opposite ends of the spectrum. However, to make this kind of relationship work, you have to be willing to expand your horizons some. Most couples who have different interests find things to do together, then pursue their own interests during their "me" time. For example, they vacation together, and she sits by the pool and reads her book, while he hits the links. But at night they enjoy eating dinner together and dancing.

From the sound of things, your relationship is based entirely on physical intimacy, and you are using your differences in interests as your excuse for never finding more depth in your relationship. Relationship based purely on the physical, typically do not work. Eventually the flame dies down, the fire starts to go out. Eventually the excitement starts to die, and you want more than just someone to excite your senses that way, you want someone you can connect with in other ways, even if the connection is made by trying out a new activity together, or sitting around doing nothing.

So, if you wan tot make the relationship work, it is time to take the focus away from the physical and see if you still enjoy their company when you don't have that. So, how do you do this? Well, try a night of playing games, talking, watching a movie, or doing anything other than being physical together. It doesn't have to be something you enjoy or he enjoys, rather find something that maybe you can both enjoy. There are tons of activities in the world, and there is bound to be something you can both like doing. For example, if you are an intellectual, and he is into sports, maybe play a sport themed scrabble game. Find a movie that you will both find interesting.

The fact is there are probably many people who you can connect with you on a physical level, as it is mainly hormone driven. So, you want to find a person who is going to appeal to you intellectually, emotionally, or even spiritually. If you end up marrying the guy, there will come a time when physical attraction wanes. It may be because you have children so finding time to be intimate may be difficult. It might be because you are old and wrinkled, and physical intimacy is no longer a big part of your life. No matter what the reason, there should always be something more than physical attraction that keeps you with someone.
