I searched for an old forum on this - sorry if I'm repeating.
I know many of you are newly wed - 5 years or less - and I just wanted to know if you are as happy as I am. I feel the true test of a marriage is time and when you devote that time to frienship, talking and :sneaky: , things can be worked out. As many of you know I married the bazooka (can't remember who called him that) of FG. He would be upset at me for saying this, for 15 minutes, but he gives me more friendship, love and understanding than I have ever had in my life. I wrote a letter to my cousin, who married us at family reunion, because my mother put a foul taste in his mouth about performing the ceremony. He felt I had mislead him -about what you may ask? About getting married, my Mom is very manipulative. So anyway in the letter I told him the story of our friendship and growing love for each other. He just wrote me back and said he felt blessed to have performed the ceremony. :-6 .
So tell your stories about your marriage fiasco, or happy time, or your many happy years together.

Okay, this post has been here over an hour without response, so you newlyweds have had your chance.
19 1/2 years here. The secret is to keep dating - each other!
Right now is the absolute roughest time we have ever had together, with our very own economic deficit and stress surplus, but we just realized that we're too stubborn/lazy/attached to end it now. We are each other. But that would not be the case now if we had not spent years building our friendship and romance then.
Spend the next few years building a strong foundation and ending the marriage will not be an issue later.
BTW we still date.

Ohhhh, sweet, I'm jelous, wish my ex could have remembered I actually existed. He used to run me down in front of friends, still didn't learn not to do it after one of his own mates punched him for doing it in front of him!

OK 18 plus for me and Mrs. Far, three kids and me spending half our marriage deployed and loaned out to foreign militaries.
Like Accountable we still date. we kiss in public, hold hands, lock arms, she gets jealous and I spend my time thinking about how I can please her... we kid each other, do practical jokes on each other, always make each others birthdays a surprise somehow. We do crazy stuff when we date, fun stuff. we talk and I dont mind it, infact I love talking to her and listening to her worries and feelings, often times I can't say much cause honestly I dont think like a girl, but I nod, say ahuh and she says you dont understand. I say no I dont but I'm here anyway. Most times thats enough.
Last week I was without her and the Kids for the whole week, I was lost, bored out of my mind and I made a special surprise for her to come home to. She was tired and I took the kids out to play ball, when we came home she was ready for bed and alseep in no time... I missed her so much I wanted to wake her up and talk to her, but I didn't. When I got up at 4 she was still snoozen... I love her so much I just stared at her for a while.
Yeah I know I got it bad.
I'm absolutely positive no other woman in the world would have put up with me for as long as my wife has. She's a saint and far more. I'm a mean, grouchy old sergeant type, crusty and grough, and when she smiles I melt.
She's the mother of my children, the keeper of my home and my heart and all my inner most secrets.
I still feel like a newlywed... my hearts been hers since I was about 15.
Wow!:yh_cry You gonna show her this??? I think you should.
