billygoat Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 flame going? Just wondering- if that "thing" that brought you together is still the "thing" that drives your marriage today? I would have to say, Amy's insatiable desire to make me happy (and for that matter, everyone she comes in contact with), is what drew me to her. And yes, it is what still keeps me loving her today (among other things)! She's a great woman and a great wife, and I'm lucky to have her. So let's hear yours? Cm'on Luke- I'm sure you'll have some sappy answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are time we can't get on the same page, but we sure are comitted to being married. 15 years here, i will say that the baby has added some stress into the relationship that wasn't there for the first 13 years.

dg Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... I said "I Do" with the good and bad. Also, we have three boys (children). When the children are born, my needs are on the backburner. It's all about them, not ME. It's easy to say another woman would be better until you live with them. I've been married over 20 years. I would like some things to be better. But I know many things could be MUCH worse. My wife is an awesome mother. And since my kids come first, and the kids are the priority, I'll leave it at that. Marriage is not a cinderella fairy tale. It does take work, and it requires give and take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... my wife and I had a huge flame before we got married but when she said "I do" it started raining and put her fire out---I think it has something to do with that extra band on the finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... Once she realized I'm the boss, things went much better Not sure the secret. 19 years this March and things are going well. We seem to just respect each other and don't fight. I think we've had 1 or 2 voice raising arguments in all that time. (she was wrong both times ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popgun Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... Without getting mushy, it will be 37 years in May. The happiest days of our lives have been spent together. The saddest days of our lives have been spent together. Mutual respect for each other as well as the vows we took before man and God. Some women find a man and expect to change him from who he was when they met. Some men find a woman and expect her to stay the same as she was when they met. Those are both mistakes that too many couples make. ….popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfletch7441 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... I try to treat JaLynn like I'm her boyfriend, not her husband, as much as I can. Flower's, back rubs, hold her hand, hug and kiss her in public, the stuff it seems people quit doing once they get married. In return I get ... well, nevermind. Let's just say the fire is stronger now than when we got married. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... Well, to be honest......I don't really know. Love, determination, understanding, and sometimes simply not wanting to break your promise. Also, the realization that not all times are going to be beds of roses and cozy. Life, with its demands--especially when you have kids--is hard and lots of circumstances can try even the best marriages. So I guess that would be my answer. That and lots of affairs!

MrWiggely Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... Hard telling - 9 years - unusual these days never had a fight, we never go to bed mad at each other, always talk problems out Lots of love and respect for each other get rid of the kids on occassion so we can have a night alone, at least monthly (thank god for grandparents) Probably the list can go on and on. And I forgot the most important thing my dad told me the day I got married. YES DEAR (magic words) Wigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Re: Married People: what keeps the.... Debt...... We still get "Hot" every time we talk about it.... Honestly, my wife is my best friend and we have nothing in common. She is an amazing woman and she knows I think so. We passed the fight like cats and dogs stage years ago and now we are just happy being together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
