Another Marriage Post

[Antonia]

After all these unhappy marriage posts, I just want to say I've been married for 21 years to my high school sweetheart and we are still on cloud 9.
We call each other from work everyday, snuggle up every night, wake up snuggling (I know - some of you may think this is sickening), and we have a great deal of fun together. We go to high school football games and cheer on our alma mater, we ride the motorcycle for little trips in the evenings after work, we each take time to do fun stuff with friends of our own, we eat supper together, we take pleasure in each other's wrinkles, we go to WDW and Universal, we love going to the beach together and still after 21 years we can't think of another we would rather be with.

I feel so blessed and I am sure others of you do, too.

If you do, post it here!!! I want to hear some happiness!

I have been very much blessed for almost 33 years. My husband and I weren't high school sweethearts, though.

I am blessed to be married to the most incredible man in the world! My dh works so hard for our family, we spend almost all our time together (work together now too!) and still love (....and like!) each other. He is truly my best friend, and I could not imagine life without him. I try very hard not to take him for granted, and he makes me feel precious. Blessed indeed!

I would have said the same but then DH and I just had a fight! He is a doofus. He got mad becasue someone wanted our address, and I said, "do you want me to talk?", he said no and then gave our address WRONG!! He got mad at me when I corrected him! UGH! We will be happy tomorrow, but today, not so much. I guess that is what marriage is! He just yelled " You better not be venting to your Dis board friends about our fight!" Round two!

Antonia, Too bad you DH and you go to the same alma mater. My wife and I went to different schools and we play our school up whenever they play eachother. Last time I went to a high school football game, my team got beat pretty bad, but I had to say "At least our band is better than yours."

Married for 12 years to my best friend. Time is flying. Been through some tough times, but I need to count my blessings.

23 years & still madly in love! Plus 8 years dating before that! Both our DD's are now in college. We are enjoying our "empty nest." Shhh...don't tell our kids, LOL!

Happily married for 4 years but together for 10! We're high school sweethearts.

He's my best friend and a wonderful father to DS and the dogs. I'm very lucky.

I am married to my highschool sweetheart also. We were born and raised a block away from each other and have known each other forever.

We have now been married for 9 years and we have 2 beautiful DD's. We are currently moving to a new house on Friday and it's exciting to start a new chapter in our marriage.

Thanks for asking!!!!

Wow! Neat stories! My wife and I have been married 15 years. Met while I was in med school and she was working as a flight nurse. We often talk about what life would've been like if we went to the same high school and were high school sweethearts. We are opposites. She is energetic and "spazzy" while I'm laid back. Guess that comes from our jobs too. Four beautiful daughters age 10, 6 and 11 month twins. A cat named Wesley. And 2 German Shephards named Clarence and Raider. We always sleep with our feet touching. Hard to cuddle since we're both hot natured.

Well, we've only been married for not quite a year and a half, so we're still kind of newlyweds.

I couldn't ask to be married to a better man. As "our" song says, he's my "true companion" - my perfect match. He's not a perfect person, but he's perfect for me. As I like to say, he's just as perfect as I am.

I look forward to being able to tell people that we've been happily married for 50 years.

We are also a couple that "make people sick"

We've been together for 8.5 years and next month is our 6th wedding anniversary. We say "I love you" to each other a hundred times a day, we leave each other romantic notes on the dry erase board on the fridge every day, write and hide love notes all over, snuggle, kiss and cuddle as much as possible, spend LOTS of time together and it still feels like we can't get enough of each other!!!

We share a huge love of all things Disney, movies, books, stormy days and nights and computers...which is how we met in 1996...on a local BBS.

People always comment on how sickening we are like it's a BAD thing!!! But the fact that we have an amazing relationship is one of the things that I am the most proud of in my life! We work on it everyday and it's worth every second!!!

Karen,

Was your wedding song True Companion by Marc Cohn???
That was OUR wedding song!!! We love that song so much!!!

I have been married to my sweetie for 18yrs, dated for 2 before that. We weren't high school sweethearts, but did pass each other by in middle school. When we announced we were getting married it suprised my family because we are complete opposites(some even made a bet of how long we would last we showed them! ). I believe being complete opposites is one of the things that makes our marriage work, after all we get along better that most of the other couples in our families. We too say I love you all the time, and I always make sure to kiss him before he leaves for work and when he gets home form work, and after dinner, and... well you get the point.

DH and I will be celebrating 29 years of wedded bliss on the 27th of this month. We married when we were both 18 and many people said we were "too young" and it "wouldn't last." We've proven them wrong. We are still very much in love, and enjoy spending time together like going camping, traveling, watching movies, taking walks, even just sitting together reading. We're best friends and I know I am very fortunate to have the wonderful husband that I do. I count my blessings.

DH is the best DH in the world. We have been married 19 years, fresh out of college. We snuggle, eat, and do just about everything together. He calls everyday from work and we often meet for lunch. I get flowers for no reason at all. Now he is in the big sand box and I miss him dearly. He has still called every single day, plus plenty of e-mail/mail.

 

[diznygirl]

There are an awful lot of "best husbands in the world" here! And mine is too!

Really, my DH is the envy of my friends cuz he watches all the kids when my friends come over to scrapbook, he signs me up for massages when we go the DVC, he comes homes from work and offers to make dinner since I've been with the kids all day - then also does the dishes and picks up the toys!

We've been married 11 years - we went to college together where I had a huge crush on him, but we didn't start dating til we graduated. We have two beautiful children and love our sick and twisted little lives - hugging and snuggling and cuddling and kissing all the time like the rest of y'all. My mother is fond of saying we love each other too much - is there such a thing?

His only flaw - he's allergic to animals. Oh well, he still makes me laugh!

DH and I have been married 25 years this past May. Not all times were great, many were very difficult, but through all of the hard times I knew he loved me and would always be there for me. We raised 4 kids and with our youngest dd getting married in a few months, our other DD in college and our twin DS's both married with 2 kids each, we are finding new fun things to do together again. We are having a great time and we are more in love than ever. Marriage is hard work sometimes, but it is great to feel that you have been successful in making it work. Congrats to all of you who have made successful loving marriages....there are not enough of them out there.

33 years coming up next Saturday, and never a cross word nor disagreement. Okay, a few, we're still working on it, LOL. Nice thread, Antonia.

 

[dzneprincess]

Yes! MY DH is a saint! We have been married for 11 1/2 years! I do not know how he puts up with me! I love him so much and he is my best friend! We have 4 beautiful children together, we call each other at work everyday just to check on the other. He is TREMENDOUS father, I could not have 4 children with him if he werent, and he spoils me soooo much. Mostly with the little things he does for me everyday! Great thread Antonia!

I've been married to my guy for 17 years. We dated through HS and college. We are complete opposites. He keeps me laughing every single day. Everyone loves him. He lights up a room with his sense of humor. We rarely argue or disagree.

He becomes a better father and I become a better mother with each child we have. He does things with our children better than I can do them. I love hearing my children laugh when they are playing with my husband. He truly is a child at heart.
