Poll on marriage
1)Why do you love being married?
2)What do you love best about your DH?
3)Would you change anything?
Re: Poll on marriage
1) comfort of knowing I have someone to go through the fun and ugly stuff. Having someone to talk to about my day.
2)He cooks (I absolutely hate it) deliciously good comfort foods, specially when I've had a bad day. He bathes the cats and clips their nails (he is gonna make a great dad one day). This is corny but...he knows what to do to make me laugh.
3) marriage: the size of our family, 3-4 kids. DH: his curisng needs to stop.
1.I always thought I would be "just ok" being married, I never thought I would be super duper happy all the time and so very much in love. I am, and it's fantastic. Married life is way better than I ever could have dreamed. Working on 4 years married now, and it really does get better every day. Mike is my best friend and hemakesme very happy!
2. DH is a great man. He is fantastic, honest, funny, etc. Also he puts up with all of my crap!
3. Hmmm... more money! More vacations! Seriously though, DH works a lot of hours, I wish he had a more normal schedule and could be home more often. Hopefully that will change in a few years and he can be home more.
1) I love the security of marriage. Of knowing that I'll come home to an amazing man each and every day (well, actually he comes home to me now)
2) His amazing patience, endless love and well I love him because he loves me.
3) Yes, I'd sell our house and all of our belongings and go live on a beach in a shack just so we could be together all the time and enjoy raising our little boy together. DH feels the same way but we're too scared to actually do it.
1. I love being married because I get to live my life with my best friend. I love that we encourage and push each other. I love that we support and comfort each other.
2. I love that my husband is so kind and so laid back. He makes me relax and breathe. He's also an amazing dad. He not only shares parenting responsibilities with the babies but also makes sure I'm taking care of myself. Marriages with twins have increased divorce rates, so we're working extra hard to make sure things stay on track.
3. Sometimes he's too laid back. He could be more punctual or complete tasks faster - sometimes babies can't wait.
1) I love being married, because there is someone to share life's everyday adventures with. Our first year has been very rocky with health, moving, new jobs, lost jobs, promotions, car fires, and pets. The intimacy that comes with sharing your life with someone is deeper than I had ever imagined. I love it, I love him, and I love being married.
2) He really is a counterpart to me. His calm, fun loving, and always compassionate nature still gives me butterflies when I am meeting up with him. His notes and emails, they are always just what I need to hear. His dreams, they go so good with mine!!!
3) Yes, our salaries and ability to spend more time together. I guess if we could travel more that would make us both very happy,
1. I love the support and getting to share everything with DH.
2. He cracks me up. I also love the way his mind works and how detail oriented he is.
3. DH and I are bother very stubborn, and I'd love it if we cooperated a little more. That and we'd travel more.
1. I love being married because it feels right, like life is beginning.
2. I love how goofy, thoughtful and adventurous my DH is. Oh and nerdy
3. I'd give us a ton of money so we didn't have to work and could just travel the world together.
