My husband & I were talking the other day & realized... that among most people we know, at least.... we have a unique relationship. He talked about people at work getting into political discussions with him & they'd ask "Well, what does your wife think about it?" or "Who did your wife vote for?"... and his answer is "I don't know".... "I don't care.. that's her business." He also tells me about discussions he has with his peers about religion.. and again, they ask "Well, what about your wife?" ... and his replies are about the same "I don't know... those are her decisions for her... it doesn't concern me... whatever works for her... " They seemed absolutely SHOCKED by this.... these are apparently big issues in their homes. There are people that talk about fighting with their spouses over these things -- and others -- to the point of divorce talk. The husband is trying to make the wife agree with his views or vice-versa. We respect each other's views on things & are perfectly content... they're argueing over it & talking about divorce... and THEY tell HIM we need to get more involved with each other on these issues LOL I'm just wondering if we're odd. LOL We realized during this discussion that we haven't had an arguement in well over 2 yrs & that every arguement we've had in at least the past 7 yrs has been stirred up by him bringing home his stress from work --- actually had NOTHING to do with US at all. I just think it's awesome.
Oh yes, you should look back at some of the threads.....hmmmm, can't remember names of them. Anyway, We all here have arguments (not really) over who has the BEST husband!!! I think we all have agreed that MINE is the best! (just so you know, and I'm sure everyone here would agree with me!) In fact my dh and I are more in love than ever, and we just had our 20th Anniversary on the 20th! :love: :love: The sad thing is that, though OUR marriage is so great, all of our siblings have been divorced. That word isn't even in our vocabulary! We plan on being together forever, PTL!!!
Now, now, now buddy, I have the best DH. In two months we will have been together for 30 years. He is the best. I love my DH more and more everyday.
ACTUALLY, Laja656, we all finally decided that we're so very happy that we each have the perfect man for us!!!
LOL I agree. Mine's the best, too. We've been married for 6 1/2 years, together for 9, and it gets better all the time. Comes with making an effort and getting to know one another, and honestly wanting to serve each other. So yeah. We've had "things" to deal with or whatever, but the d-word isn't in our vocabulary either, and I'd not hesitate to say that we have a great marriage. It's not the norm, which is sad, and sometimes it feels like we must be the only people on earth who view marriage the way we do. It's nice to come here and know that's not true! LOL
LOL!! Um.. autism awareness in your av... :?: Oops! Threadjacking again! Where's our "can't possibly hijack this thread because it's about everything" thread again?? LOL
I love having the best husband in the world! We do discuss religion, our faith, politics but we do not argue about it. We promised each other that divorce wasn't going to be part of our marraige. So we BOTH would do what we needed to do in order to make our marriage alive and well. All this came about ten years ago after years of self inflicted problems. We realized we had a choice. Many of my friends, and one of my sisters, are divorced. I understand that there are times when divorce is inevitable; usually when one person or both do not want to make it work. Since it takes two to make a marriage work, we want to do what it takes to keep ours together. When I look at elderly people holding hands, I am filled with joy. It is a beautiful sight. No, my marriage is not perfect, but with every passing day we strive to make it so.
I do have a great marriage and we do discuss all those touchy topics. My husband does know and care what my opinion is. he doesn't always agree with it but he respects it. We have been married almost 14 years and have know each other for 22 years. The biggest fight married couples have is over money. If you don't make money discisions without your spouse and vise a versa you will prevent most fights. My husband and I have been going to financial classes by Dave Ramsey. They are awesome! We may never fight again! HAA HAAA , not really but it sure helps.
My dh is the best!!! for me. We have been married for 15 years and love each other more today than the day we were married. We talk about everything and haven't had a fight - well, one day he was driving very fast, and I asked him to slow down - he did and we didn't talk for about 100 miles - then we both got over it and acted like nothing happened. We were on vacation.
I can't imagine anyone better suited for me than my dh. I feel truly blessed to have him. He isn't perfect and I am not either. However, we seem to be perfect together. There are so many couples who don't communicate. I try and remember that when my dh is talking my ear off! LOL.
I really believe my DH and I are a great team. I can not imagine a better person for me (and my kids!!!). So many people complain and gripe about their spouse, it is so nice to read so many other people that are really in love!
If we are going by years married then Freddy might win the best husband award. We have been married 36 years and 7 months. We were friends before we were a couple. We are so much alike it is scary. We finish each others sentences. I tell people I got him young and raised him right. I can't imagine life without him.
I have been married almost 6 years and I gotta say, I have a wonderful marriage. But the reason I have a wonderful marriage is because we both work at it. I see so many people my age who felt that everything would be fine if they got married. Their life would be perfect...now they are divorced. They didn't want to WORK at it. And marriage is, if anything, work
My husband and I work really well as a team - on whatever it is. It really is amazing how that happens - we just have different strengths and have learned to rely on each other for those things. We complement each other all around. And besides - how many men would be willing to drop out and ride their bike around the world??
Does anybody else's dh put the toilet lid back down?? :lol: I thanked my MIL for that one... she included it as part of his potty training as a little bity kiddo!! (And, I've followed those footsteps and done the same with my boys! I hope their future wives thank me! LOL)
MINE PUTS THE LID DOWN!!! And so do the boys when they were living at home. It was one thing I insisted on when we were first married because I had a dog who would drink from the toilet if it wasn't down. All "my men" agreed that was just GROSS, and so they learned to put down the lid. My husband is the greatest guy in the world. I'm VERY thankful for him. He is truly God's gift to me!!!
