Two years ago my husband showed me how to make photo manipulations on the computer. Since that time I have made many photo manipulations and I have sold some of them. It has been extremely useful for me as an artist. If I run into to problems my husband is always ready to guide me, and I really appreciate his help. Sometimes I take pictures of abandoned buildings and I use them in my art, my husband has taught me some things about photography that I didn't know, and I have improved my techniques. My husband is very interested in the Norse mythology, and since we have met I have learned several things about the Gods and the legends from the Norse mythology. Which skills did your partner teach you? Which subjects did you learn about because of your partner's hobbies, job etc? Which things would you like your partner to teach you in the future?

My partner came from a prominent family and a religious one. My heart are not close to the one above but she influences me to be more open to HIM and listen to HIM. Actually, my partner didn't force me but she influences me unconsciously. When it comes to hobbies, i become interested in photography,to cook and to learn other dialects. She did a lot of things to me including encouraging me to draw and paint again. I learned how to save and dream big. In short i become better person because of her.

Thanks got your response.It sounds like you have got a lot of positive things from your partner, and I think that is great. I also think that I have become a better person because of my husband. Our relationship is different and from the ones I have had in the past, and it is the best relationship that I have had. He has taught me some skills and some practical things, but that is not the only thing that I have learned from him.

If we found the right one for us we will be able to find the good ting inside us. They are the one who help us to be more positive in life. They teach us and we learned, they also learned from us. It's a give and take process. Yes, there are lots of things they influenced us and it's too many to mention.

My boyfriend is very good and understanding to me because he try to teach me how to make a simple program in my laptop that no one can access without my authentication. it is a very helpful to me. Everytime he teach me, he is always be patient to me because i'm a hardheaded in that field. He give his time to me every weekends and instead of going to the malls, he always insist me to be in our house to learn and to know about the technology now so that I can be aware of it.

I think it is great your boyfriend teaches you things that are helpful for you. My husband is also very patient when he teaches me how to make photomanipulations on the computer. I find it interesting, but it is difficult for me to remember the different things, and it difficult for me work with the different layers etc, so I often have to ask my husband for help.

My BF is very fond of fishing. He taught me a knot that they use to attach the hook to the string. I was very thrilled when I succeeded on my first knot and more so when I caught my first fish, pathetic in size though, but it was milestone for me!

My husband taught me how to cook. He also taught me about computers. But the best thing he taught me was how to have patience. And I know that I became a better person by marrying him. :)

This was a very positive and nice topic, and a good opportunity to remember why we have chosen our partners! My husband has made it his lifetime goal to teach me to relax. My family has a history of heart attacks, and especially the women are very stressed out and work way to hard. When we first met I had never taken a holiday. Now I'm able to sit down on the porch and look at the sunset for several minutes before I run off to do the laundry. :) When we are an old retired couple, I plan to be able to finish a cup of tea without doing anything else than enjoying it.

I am happy to hear that you liked my topic. I am not good at relaxing or taking breaks either. I work at night at the moment and when I finish work, I work online and work on my other projects at home like my art and my writing. My husband usually say that I am always busy with something, and that is true.

You know it's a great thing that you learned from your husband that skill. Very few people are like that. Once people are married, they seem not to care to know or learn about what there partners skills.
