What's your formula for a happy marriage/relationship?

One woman wrote she owed her success to a double bed and separate bank accounts. It's a clever quip but wouldn't have worked for us (two insomniacs in the same bed are likely to tear each other's throats out).

What's your formula?

    Live, laugh and marry someone who's compatible, shares your views and aspirations, oh and is dynamite in bed :P

  • Sounds good. Mrs Didge married me for my initial. Her maiden name was Wood and, as a child, she spent so much time on the wrong end of alphabetical queues that she said she'd have married anybody with an initial in the first half of the alphabet.

    Loving each other like you love yourself. My sweetie is very attentive and thoughtful.  I appreciate him very much.  I hope i make him feel as special as he makes me.

    Is that right? I'll worship you just as soon as I get what I want from you. Over and over and over again. Only then can you wrap me around your fingers. This post was edited by Zack at March 24, 2017 8:42 PM MDT

    We both hide nothing from our audience and people know how I feel about you. Like I've said before, you're a keeper.

    Two people have to have a focus of the total path they are on.  They both have  MUST have the same values.  They do not have to have much else to make it work.  IF they both have the same goals in mind, if they possess a selfless mind that is willing to give before recieving, there is a chance that it will work.  Two people who care about each other are doing something right.   The ones who have gratitude for the other person and share the compassion of what the other one feels?  Winner winner chicken dinner.

    Hope this applies to you.  I think it does, Didge

  • Thanks, Pres. Good answer. And, oh yeah, we've been lucky -- but we worked together for that luck.

    Exactly.   It has to be earned or it is worthless. 

    You both are blessed.

  • Now there's a brief answer with a great deal of implication. Since it can be interpreted a couple of ways I'm not gonna comment -- except to say thanks for answering. :)
