So many happily married signature lines :)

[Chickie Mamma]

My hubby only "tolerates" what I do... I freeze my butt every winter, and break my butt every summer trying to keep things from getting smelly. I accept it because it is "my" hobby but I get no help. He built me a coop that leaks and that is almost useless, but I appreciate the time spent doing it together. Thats the only thing that he has ever done that is nice, so I guess I live with it.

I don't have it in my sig. line but I have had before....

I am VERY Happily married!!!!!!

My dh basically 'raised' me. I came from an abusive background. I had a very hard life and it made me hard. By the time I got with him I was very emotionally numb, I was very hard headed, I had a very very bad short/bad temper - I could be really really mean, I had no idea what a real loving family was like, etc...I could go on and write a book about all that. My dh was a very well respected, sweet, hard working, good moraled, young man. He saw right past my hard exterior I had built up. He made it a point to make me feel love, he taught me how to respect myself and made me want to be a better person. Now, my dh is not perfect by any means. He has made his mistakes too. He also taught me how to own up to your mistakes and how to overcome them to be a better person. He taught me how to be a mother.....I had no idea how to cope and deal with stress and how to be loving to my children at first. He showed me by example. He got up and fed/changed the babies. He rocked/sang to them. As I watched him I learned alot. I would NOT be the woman I am today with my DH and God. God sent my dh to rescue me from myself...no doubt about that.

He is my soul mate. No question. I would never consider leaving him for anything. We can make it through anything and our love is so strong nothing can break it. We have already seen that.

My dh gives me butterflies every single time he touches me. It doesn't matter if he is holding hands or kissing me..I get that butterfly feeling every single time. Even when I am very angry at him I still get those feelings. We never have gone to bed angry. Even if we want to be angry still. Once we climb into bed together it just all goes away and the I'm sorry comes out.

We do lots of things together. We spend alot of time together. We are interested in the same things. We are both very outdoorsy folks. He isn't as animal friendly as I am (as far as having lots of pets) but he tries his best to tolerate my critter habit as best he can and he pays for all their food.

He is a very loving affectionate man. He is always telling me how much he loves me, how pretty I am, how creative I am, and anything to make me feel good about myself. He gives me back rubs when I am stressed out. He cooks and cleans...better than I do!!

He is my best friend and I still think he is the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on.

10 years later I am still 200% IN MAD LOVE with my DH

eta: I can't believe I left this out, and probably the most important one...He is a wonderful father.

aeta: And yes, there are days when I would love to strangle him....but I don't - it is illegal

I don't have it in my signature line either. November 10th will be the 30th anniversary from our first date! We've been married for over 27 years. I, too, have been in the same relationship since I was 16.

Marriage like everything else, it has good days and bad. Sometimes those days turn out to be months. It's not hard but often times it's not easy.

You can put anything on your signature line.

What is it about your spouse that makes you want to yell from the rooftops about how great they are?
I admire his determination and his artistic abilities. He is also a wonderful father.

What do you do in your marriage to keep it so great?
We can carry on too conversations at one time. He'll talk about one thing and I'll talk about another completely different topic. We're both listening to each other, but somehow it works for us! We have undoubted trust. We are honest with each other and even when we argue the love is so obviously there. We understand each other.

What is your best piece of marital advice?
Listen and COMPROMISE!

I don't know about the people on here but I know a lot of people in real life who claim to have perfect marriages, perfect kids. It's just a smokescreen to hide the fact that their lives are far from perfect. People just want to make other people think their own lives are so perfect. I find it hard to believe that there are so many perfect marriages here on BYC when you never see them in real life. Most married people are miserable.

Hey it's Bikerchick again!!

bashing marriages AGAIN!! So sorry you had it rough but, please don't accuse those who ARE happily married of faking it to make you feel bad and ourselves look good.. how ludicrous.

eta: nothing is perfect. Im not saying my marriage is and I don't think most people on here are saying their marriage is but that doesn't mean you cannot be madly in love with your spouse and just be happy.

ABSOLUTELY. He's my best friend and there's nobody I'd rather be with. It takes age to appreciate that.

 

[LegHorn-BusHorn]

Well, we might be happily married if we say so. Also I think there is a little pressure when all the others say DH, DS and all that. We all know that no one is perfect. My DS's are very far from perfect, but I wouldn't want them thinking that, because they know what they are, a compliment can work miracles for you. I doubt that anyone would put Horrible Husband, Terrible Sons, Darn dogs! This is a friendly site so that probably wouldn't work. I might go in and change my signiture now that I think about it.

But I would never hurt anyones feelings.

Hey, I don't go for that "soul mate" line, either. HOWEVER, if "most married people are miserable", maybe they are just miserable people.

No perfect anything, here! Just a 20 yr. partnership with the most brilliant, funny, infuriating human on the planet. He is like Danny DeVito on caffeine!

But he thinks I am Cindy Crawford...

even though I KNOW I am not.

Marriage is sooo complicated! I agree that a summary on a signature line cannot honestly capture a relationship.

after 37 yrs of marrige you appreciate every day you get with each other.. one lady complained of her husbands snoring.. but another said she would give anything to hear her husband snore.. he had passed away. look at each day as if it is your last together.. care for each other and don't dread and say geesh you need something again? we tend to get selfish in the younger years.. but as time passes you find the trivial things were never worth arguing about in the first place. he is my best friend, my lover, and the man who takes care of me.. in return i am his best friend and his lover and i also take care of him..yes he did build my home and my decks and my coop and he gave me the world.. but i have also given him children and clean clothes and home cooked meals and he loves to come home..i think it is crazy that after all these years i still get excited when i know he is on his way home from work.. i sit on the deck with the chickens and the dog just waiting for him.. he also told me he loves to come home to us and the big smile on his face when he sees me is comfort enough and i know he loves me
