QOTD 10/3

Plain and simple...

Why do you think your marriage will beat the odds and last a lifetime? What makes your relationship special?


My answer....

Nothing is a guarantee in life. I truly hope and believe we will make it till the end. I think we've both been around the block and have learned a lot from past relationships that have failed. We both realize that a relationship needs constant tending or it will fizzle out and die. If neither person cares to put any effort into a relationship, then what's the point? Of all the relationships I've been in, ours has been the most effortless, but that doesn't mean we don't work at it. I also feel safe with him. When I'm not with him I feel incomplete. When he goes away for a few days, I can't imagine that being a lifetime away from him. I can barely fight with him because inevitably one of us will make the other laugh. Honestly, I think we'll make it because we know how to make each other smile and we know how to support one another. He wants me to succeed in life and not settle for anything but what's right for me. I want the same for him.

I would like to hope it does! Our relationship is special because we love the same stuff, we get each other, and we just love being around each other

The sad thing though is half of us on this website won't make it and that is just the facts.

awww... i dont even know how to answer this... lol its sorta like your answer... in my past relationships its been one @$$ after another.. when i met FH he wasnt my type but he was different he didnt fit the typical @$$ mold... yea hes not affectionate and sometimes it really gets to me but he wants the best for me... hes always there for me he helps me get threw things and our relationship is effortless.... we dont break up n take breaks... we are in it together for the long run and hopefully this is it.... together forever...

I believe and hope it will last a lifetime. We have been together for almost 19 years. He is the love of my life and I am his. We have been together longer than some marriages..

We are two different and the same in many ways. We still love spending time and doing things with each other. We do a lot of things and include our families as well. We are never bored. Every weekend we make sure we are busy. There is no time for anyone else or for me to even think about anything else.

After locking my keys in the car with the car running and my pocketbook and cell phone inside the car, I don't know anything anymore.

Yeah, the whole break up get back together thing. That was a big no no for us. We've been there and done that with other people and it always ended in disaster. FH said if I ever break up for him it will be for good because he's not into games. I agreed. So neither has threatened it. There are times when I'm upset or in a bad mood so I'll ask for some time alone and I'll go on a drive. Most of the time it's not him, it's just all the other BS in life, but would never end it.

FH & I are high school sweethearts. first boyfriend/first girlfriend. no one can predict the furture or what will happen but i think we will make it because we both put in an equal amount to get an equal amount out of our relationship. we always talk things threw & most importantly we don't take each other for granted. our relationship has survived many things. deaths of family members & disagreements with 'friends' & we have always stuck by each other. always on the same team. one of our friends said it best, we work together because i am the only one who can put up with him & he is the only one who can put up with me.

Amen to your friends answer. Think it's the same for us.

Your answer kind of sums up me and fh, he has also made me a more patient person because he has no patience, i have patience for the both of us. And i feel like he makes me a better person-its really weird. We are very opposite-but are soo complete when we are together.

People that aren't normally around us, are usually in awww of how i am around him, because its odd for them, cause when we go out to eat i do his ordering and i will interpret the conversations for him if he doesn't understand, they just see a different side of us and for me its become a part of my norm-that i just do it without noticing

I dont think that everything in life is certain...
I have been with FH since I was 18 (been together 5 years) and I know that we have done alot of growing up together and I can hope that it will keep us together in the long haul.

statistics....both our parents are still together, so statistics says that will help our chances! haha nah seriously,

mike is the man of my dreams, he's all i'll ever need and want...he's crazy about me too! i can see us growing old together

Love is the number one reason, but one thing that stands out is that we enjoy doing the same things. I know a lot of couples who got older and felt like they don't have much in common so they don't go out together places or do this & that together so they feel that things faded or not like they used to be. Not the case with us.

We love most of the same movies, same taste in music ....

I feel like I'm not just marrying my soul mate, I'm marrying my best friend.
