For all of you with mr wonderfulls..

[Dixiedoodle]

I am happily married and have been for 36yrs. I love him dearly, he is sweet, loving, a great provider, a wonderful father and grandfather, he is bright and funny. BUT I can not say he is perfect--he has somethings I would love to change... I just have to over look somethings and I pray he will over look my faults...

I do not know a single soul who is the perfect husband, wife, SO... It just isn't going happen...and then people change/grow as we age..


JMHO

How to say this: I annoy Ken and his annoyance annoys me. However, if he isn't here when I get home, my heart sinks. I can and will live with those things that are annoying simply because the rest of it makes it worth it. I will sit next to him reading a book while he watches yet another boring science program because I love being near him more than I want to watch a different show.

I always say, "marry someone that makes you laugh". When me and my husband met, the furthest thing from my mind was a boyfriend or husband. My best friend tried to get us to meet for 2 years before we ever did, and she suckered me into that first meeting LOL!! Anyway, we dated for almost 3 years, and will be married 8 years next month and for the first 3 years of our marriage we had more money that we could spend, took trips, and did whatever we wanted to. Then life happened, he lost a job, I lost a job, we had a baby that the doctors said we would never be able to conceive, I almost died after I delivered her, he had another career change unexpectedly, I've been home since I had my child, Lord you name it. BUT, through it all, even when we were so broke we couldn't buy a gallon of milk AND a loaf of bread on the same day, we always knew we had each other no matter what. If nothing else, we can always make each other laugh, even if we have tears in our eyes doing it. Money may come and go, beauty fades, but love is forever strong, so always marry someone that can make you laugh even when all you want to do is cry!

Hmm.. well - I knew DH was "the one" the moment I laid eyes on him - was one of those "across the crowded room" things

LOL! I was actually dating a friend of his and we were at a BBQ and I asked "Who's that guy over there?" He told me and I said "oh..hmmm.." (we'd only been dating for a week or therebouts). He asked me why and I said "Uh - hmmm..."

I didnt want to say "Because I want to date him" that would have been very mean..

but - noticed DH was asking about ME as well.. we were givin' each other the

eyes *snickering*. Hmm.. the stage was set...

2 weeks later I'm at a club with a friend and sitting there enjoying our drinks when a voice behind me says "lets dance". I'm about ready to

whoever is so bold to think I would just up and go until I turn around and there stands DH

ME: UH..Okay...

The usual introductions "I saw you at..." yaddah yaddah yaddah... 2 minutes in he kissed me... 1 week later I told him I was going to marry him - he laughed... HA HA! Laughs on you buddy - 20 years later here we are

He's not perfect but neither am I - we compliment each other perfectly - he's my soul mate and best friend and I wouldnt have it any other way. Til Death Do Us Part is the only option in this marriage..never a thought otherwise

My Mr Wonderful lived right next door from me for a couple years and I was always eyeing him. One day I locked my keys in my car and he tried to help me and it was love at first talk!!! We hooked up a few months later after becoming friends first. He is 9 years younger than me so we both wanted to hook up, but both thought it wouldn't work and here we are 7 years later and still chasing each other around the house!! LOL!!
Oh yeah, and I wasn't looking for a man, I was single for almost 3 years before this.

I didn't have a list, and I agree with others who said if you have one, you'll be single forever. But if I had to make one now, my dh would have every quality on it.

He's not perfect, but he's perfect for me.

In reality, their are two things I feel you can't have a romantic relationship without:

1. absolute trust (My dh is military, deployment isn't optional. I've seen many military marriages crumble b/c partners don't trust each other to be faithful while seperated.)
2. mutual attraction (Shallow? Maybe. But still very imporatant)

Pretty much everything else you can work on...

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

If you've got a list and wait to find a guy with everything on it you're going to die single.

Very well said!

On a serious note. There is NO man out there that will have every quality you may HOPE for in a man. The biggest thing is to look for his good qualities and build on those. My hubby annoys me sometimes but on those days that I'm annoyed, I always think...what if he were gone and never coming back? Would I miss him? And the answer is always YES! I would miss him terribly because he was a friend before he was a boyfriend/husband. He's far from perfect but so am I so we work with each other and I'm sure I annoy him as much as he annoys me at times

OK prob MORE!​
