being the perfect man and putting up with her .

Well, it has to be the fact that it's literally until death do you part.
It's sometimes a hard pill to swallow. Then I realize that statiscally she will outlive me....![]()

The hardest part of marriage for me is remembering that we started out as sweethearts, especially during arguments and letdowns.
But over 30 years, the range of mood swings are less severe because there's a lot of history that helps to soothe the hurts.
For me it's the balancing act between sharing practically every aspect of my life with someone and trying to feel like I'm still my own person.
Living with the other person is the hardest part.
Unless of course you marry an older woman.... What is the difference in life spans of men and women? If it is 9 years, then NOW I know why my boyfriend chose me...![]()
you think? That gives me hope

Yeah......being married during those permissive years of mid 70's through to the HIV scary years of the early 80's, man, there were a lot of distractions to overcome.
Scary.
The compatibility we had made the difference.
Same socioeconomic backgrounds, education and strong beliefs, there is hope for those that persevere.
I'm a lucky .
I guess, so am I. Married 28 years 8-23-79![]()
Lucky , I am![]()
That was tough for me in the beginning but now after almost 10 years it's kind of switched around to being that someone who should know every aspect of my life and personality still sometimes hasn't got the slightest clue as to who I am or what I'm about. It makes for interesting discussions when you're still learning new things about each other that far in to a marriage.
Luckily for us we like the new stuff as much as the old.But getting to the fun part of it can be pretty trying at times.
Another important thing I have to always remember is that I am not part of my husband. We are in each others hearts but we don't control each others movements. That way when he does/says something really embarrassing I can distance myself and laugh along with everyone else instead of feeling like it reflects on me. He's a real character and I never know what he'll do next but he is highly entertaining.
agreeing to disagree... and MEANING it. thats hard.
respecting the other persons needs, and really truely accepting thier faults.

We haven't run into many that I know of ... at least that don't revolve around my children. Chris' answer could be completely different.![]()

There are many times I want to say ' it' and leave and there are many times when I can't imagine being without him. He puts up with my and I put up with his. But then I remember that he's not a slacker, doesn't try to control what I do, doesn't care if I cook dinner every night, doesn't complain if the house gets messy and I don't feel like cleaning it every 5 minutes. But most importantly, he makes me laugh.
every once and a while, i'd like a bit of strange ass....other than that, i think our marriage is rock solid.

Marriage is give and take on both parts. We always make sure we spend some quality time together without the kids. We love them but we need our time alone to just talk and laugh and some good lovin'.
Marriage rocks!!!![]()
