Re: Marriage ...

31 years for me also.
aspeck and DWJ are pretty much right on.

gonefishie, from my experience I was fortunate to marry a woman who doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
That fact was enough to overcome my many faults. She is someone that by example influenced me to work on myself to be worthy of her.

If you only knew how dirt poor we were when we started and how fortunate we are today in almost every way.

Well mine only has one mean bone in her body!
And she beats me with it daily! (where is that big green smiley face)
24 years and I'm the lucky one
I NEVER said that!

Re: Marriage ...

Now, not later, is the time to answer those questions and if you can'T? It's time to drop back 10 and punt.

But I don't want to punt, I like having the ball Boom8). Just like Mr. QC said "pretty cool when the HOTD lives in your house". So what you guys saying is that I needs to adjust myself, grow thicker skin and most importantly willing to accept defeat as in Kagee rules?8)8)

Re: Marriage ...

Yep, that and tell her how wonderful she is every day. 8) Follow those rules and you will not be sorry and will not want to change a thing (other than yourself).

29 years here.

Sorry you get the bad ones Snap. There are great gals out there.

I think the secret to a good marraige is compromise and knowing that there is no perfect person. We all have our faults. I guess its a matter of which faults you are willing to live with. If either person tries to mold the other into what they want, it makes the other defensive.

Marriage is a partnership, and both parties need to be able to maintain their own identity and individuality. In order to do that there has to be a fair amount of compromise from both. Anyone not willing to allow their partner to get their way once in awhile is headed for trouble. But most of all, your partner has to be fun to hang out with.

Re: Marriage ...

26 yrs, 31 yrs? how do you guys do it? what your secrets? I think I'm gonna walk down that path soon and frankly, all the mood swings and all the craziness stuff that woman does scare me. I often found myself asking the questions of am I ready to deal with this for the rest of my life and how the heck am I gonna do it?:%

There is a real easy way to decide if you will be able to stand it.
Can you stand her mother ? If yes,do get married.If no,run.
Her mother is what she will be.
