Ok, I am totally confused. What the heck is a My Fi? I used to have a Hi-Fi and my computer just got Wi-Fi and the last trip to Disney World we ate at Sci-Fi but I have no idea what I am supposed to do with a My Fi. Is that like a wireless high fidelity microwave from the future?

I got married when puppies were the oldest animals on earth. After dating Noah's wife before he met her (I think I actually introduced the two of them); I found Trina (she could tread water for a long time) and decided she looked like she had the right amount of clothes to fit the empty spot I had in the closet. I think our marriage works because we are complete opposite from each other. She is funny and crazy and I am quiet and conservative. We try to do something together every week even if it means I have to go with her to shop for fabric (no good can come from a trip to a fabric store). But I can't complain, what other woman would agree that for their anniversary a romantic evening would be suite tickets to see the Arizona Diamondbacks play the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? Don't tell her but I got her the cutest polo shirt from the team shop. It comes with a matching Diamondbacks hat.

Ditto on that!! I don't understand how people can survive without that.

Therefore a marriage is doomed if they're not religious? I don't buy that.

We've been married almost 31 years. Some people hit a few rocks in the road along the way. We were fine until our 20th year - we hit a boulder. We worked it through and cliche though it may be, we came through it stronger and happier.

We truly enjoy each other's company. I'm grateful DH is in my life every day. (Well at least most of each day.)

We stay as young as we can (our children see to that) and we keep faith and a good sense of humor.

I wasn't trying to make it a debate. I just stated what was on my mind. And my marital status is my business. Whether I've been married once, ten times or none at all is irrelevant. My personal business is just that....PERSONAL!

Oh come on workinggal- you took one tiny part of what you quoted and ran with it to debate it. That IS making it a debate. Her answer is not debatable... this thread is to answer for yourself, not question other people's answers... to do that is to make it a debate!

Yes, I'm "qualified" to respond on this thread... although I have no magical answer. I've been married over 14yrs now.

I don't buy that, either. I know of many that have survived 40+ years without it. For those that think it is important, great!!!

As for us, we are going on 21 years. And like others have said, you don't find time, you make time. It takes effort. Yes, there will be struggles along the way. And as wishuponastarforever said, there might be major issues to work through, but you work through them. At the end of the day, all you have in this life is each other.

Are you? Oh that's right, you're divorced.

 

[WeirdEyes]

DH and I have been married for almost 17 years. We make time for each other and have always taken trips together without the kids. We just came back from our 2nd honeymoon (cruise to the Caribbean) and had the most fun we've had in years!

 

[gymnasticsmom68]

BTW our secret to a very happy 13 years together, loving eachother. Doing things with the kids, keeps up young.

 

[frustrated]

Do you have a problem with divorced people? You know, if someone isn't causing any trouble, why do you want to mess with them? And yes, I do know the history of the OP.

 

[workinggal]

She was implying that what do I know "if" i've never been married. Her reply was a bit hypocritical if she's been divorced, don't ya think?

 

[frustrated]

NOt if someone is looking for ways to make their second marriage work.

I for one admire your character. I am assuming that your name "workinggal" means Working Gal not Workingg Al right? Well if my assumption is correct, then your above statement fits. You are all about business because you are working right? I mean if your name was like "Layingarounddoingnothinggal" well that would be different but that's not your name so the business thing fits. You said business, you meant business and you gave them the business. I try not to mix personal with business but for you it works. Kind of like when people say that you shouldn't wear plaid with stripes. I mean what is up with that? If I have striped pajamas and my wife puts plaid sheets on the bed does that mean I am supposed to sleep on the couch? Well maybe in my case it does but I am not sure it has anything to do with my fashion sense. So anyway, just wanted to say that the mind is a terrible thing to waste and if I did get your name wrong, please say hi to Al whoever he is.
