The Secret To A Happy Marriage

Ok maybe that title is promising way more than I can provide. My husband and I just spent a good hour smack talking each other over Facebook and Twitter. While sitting beside each other. It's silly and childish but so much fun. I can't claim what the secret to a happy marriage is exactly. Is it allowing yourselves to be silly from time to time? Is it having a sense of humour out them and yourself? Maybe just being comfortable about yourself and each other. Who knows? All I know is that afterwards I couldn't help but think I'm glad I married that guy! Now if he could just learn to clean I would be all set.

    I think for each couple, it is different. For us, it is being the best of friends. We have interests we share and can always find something to do together. We also occasionally skype each other from inside the house. Me upstairs, him downstairs. Saves my lungs and his from the yelling. The other thing I find that's important is being able to let go of the little niggly things that we argue about but in the grand scheme of life, really aren't that important. The minute you lose that ability, you're in trouble. No one wants to live with a nag, male or female variety.

    I agree Amanda. If you can't be friends too, then what's the point. Where's the common ground? Though I don't know exactly what the perfect recipe is,I hope I never lose sight of what works for us.

    Once you found it though you will never settle for less. I'm blessed. I've known my BF for 25 years. I can't imagine being with anyone else.

    Lovely. My hubby and I email each other from our offices...in the same house. It's good to be a little silly!

    @Nannette, it's wonderful that you have had a happy 25 years with your best friend! We've had a happy 15 so far. =)

    @a.eye, it certainly is. Even if it's just sharing the same room while doing separate things. It's nice to know they are close.
