    Nuke and I have been married forever and I'd say the most important thing to remember in a relationship is respect.

    Respect for their feelings, beliefs and ideas even if you disagree. Honestly and loyalty are a given for a long relationship as well, but I think to many people fail to appreciate the respect they need to have for differing opinions.

    I'm sure you guys have noticed that Nukeman has strong opinions and if we couldn't come together and if not agree, at least agree to disagree and respect that the other person has the right to their opinions we wouldn't have lasted as long as we have.








    ​fortunately he usually agrees that I'm right. Such a smart man.

    I am glad he is married to you. He said he was married to someone in here. I thought it might be Abbey until Russ blew that theory.
    Thought maybe nuke and Gaby were unequally yoked.

    No trolling, or need for another thread, all these concepts that you deem important in heterosexual relationships (honesty, respect, understanding etc) are exactly the same as non-heterosexual relationships.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I just can't anymore. If you do not see a difference between men and women, there is no point discussing the concept of this thread with you.

    So, for everyone else- back to the point of the thread- I think we need to remember the simple fact that the person we are living with, being of a different gender, is different from us- likely has some different needs and wants. And we need to act accordingly if we want them to be happy. Our men want to know they are respected as men. Our women want to be treasured as women. And no amount of gender blurring or PC nonsense will ever change that.

    How about this:

    With all that entails.

    You're asking the un-answerable!

    I'm married 21 years and have no flipping idea really how we survived this far.

    The differences between man and women is what keeps so many of us together. I look to my wife for the tender things, for the type of love only a woman can offer. I go to her for the knowledge that only a woman can possess. The knowledge of being loved by that woman is indescribable. What it does to the man, is simply makes him better.

    Compromise. Mutual respect. Admiration.

    And I think Robin Williams nailed it in this flick. It's those "Idiosyncrasies". Well worth a few minutes of your life, at least for some input as to understand marriage. So what makes a perfect marriage? "Are you perfect for one another".

    Default My thoughts

    Respect matters. Both given and received. And learn to govern your tongue. Before you criticize, think. Figure out what s really bothering you and say it in a self-focused way. What I mean is tell the other person how you feel about whatever is going on rather than just saying "You are always doing...whatever" It frustrates V4R a bit sometimes since I will stew about something for a bit before expressing myself. But I would prefer to be sure of what I want to say first.

    Since I will soon have 47 years of experience in being married to THE SAME PERSON.
    We learned early on.

    Always be honest with each other.

    Do not keep secrets from one-another.

    Remember; money will always be a part of nearly every argument you may have. So,
    keep one-another informed about spending, bills, and the needs each of you may have.

    If you spoke VOWELS when you married. Keep reminding yourself those words MEANT something.

    And, if you share a faith in a religion. Use that faith as your guide in being respectful to one-another.

    No two people will always agree on everything, nor will you like what someone else does.
    Do not allow your complaints about each other to Gather into many complaints. When something
    upsets you. DEAL WITH IT THEN. Putting it off, then using many complaints during an argument
    NEVER WORKS.

    All of you may laugh at this but...NEVER GO TO BED MAD AT EACH OTHER. Never!

    My husband went to sleep mad at me about money. I told him that I loved him before going to sleep. The next morning he was killed. He left without saying goodbye.
