My wife and I met as speed skaters (inline skates, not ice). She hates riding bikes. After many years she was diagnosed with osteopenia. Decided that broken bones weren't worth the risk. So now we are hiking buddies. She's a die hard gym rat, I still skate (and cycle of course). So we do our own thing, then meet up for stuff we enjoy together.
Nice question!
ASIDE:
We met late in life, in our 40s, never married before. Now we're well past 25 years together. Both were dedicated single people with zero desire to have a "second opinion" we had to respect all the time. We both dated A LOT before we met. We practiced being married for 16 years then figured why not. So far, so good. I will admit, given the number of people we both "test rode" before we met - for all of you dedicated bachelors and bachelorettes, the odds of finding that special person is NOT good. So keep being happy single as we both thought would be our fate.
