Happy Marriage

How do you know the difference between someone who is right for you but you have challenges, versus someone who is wrong for you and that’s why you have so many challenges? I know people say marriage is hard but I thought that was due to life being hard. Is it really so hard to find someone who makes you feel loved, respected, cherished, prioritized, and supported?

Wife challenge....

In a general conversation ask your husband if he knows your cell phone number without checking in his cell phone.

Let me know how many husbands knows their wife's cell phone number.

Thanks

What qualities turned out to matter most when choosing your spouse?

I’m at the point where I’m looking for a serious relationship that could lead to marriage.
I’ve spoken to a lot of people, both married and unmarried, and one thing I keep hearing is that physical attraction is important, but it shouldn’t be the main factor. Many people have told me that what really matters is finding someone you genuinely enjoy spending time with, someone you can sit with for hours and still enjoy their company.
I understand that perspective, but I’m curious how true it has been for people who are actually married.
Looking back, what qualities ended up being the most important in your spouse?
How much did physical attraction matter when you were choosing a partner? Did it become less important over time, or do you think it’s just as important years into the marriage?
If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice about choosing a husband or wife, what would it be?
I’m interested in hearing real experiences, especially from people who have been happily married for several years.

How do you become a woman, not just a girlfriend, in a relationship?

​

I don't mean in terms of age.. I mean in terms of character, wisdom, and the way you show up for your partner.

I'm very successful in my career, and I'm proud of what I've achieved professionally. But I've realized that I also want to be successful in my marriage. To me, those are two different kinds of success, and I don't want to excel in one while neglecting the other.

I want to become a wise, emotionally mature, and dependable wife. If my husband is the leader of our family, how can I become his strongest source of support? How can I be someone he can always rely on, someone who brings him peace, strength, and stability rather than additional burdens?

For those of you in happy, long-lasting marriages, what have you learned? What habits, mindset, or qualities helped you become a better spouse?

And for the men here, what makes you feel genuinely supported, respected, and loved by your wife?

I'm looking for thoughtful advice, books, experiences, or lessons that helped you build a strong and lasting marriage.

Of course, I'm always there for a partner, whatever it takes. I enjoy his presence, listening to him and spending time with him..If he has any problem, I'm here for him.. But I think there is still a lot that can be learned and applied. It's one thing to be a woman and quite another to be a wife.. I'd like to know some tips you've been working on to share.

13 years and we still have fireworks for each other. 🥰

Our first date was on the 4th at a friend's house party so I had an idea to recreate it again. We may be in a new place, but our love and friendships have become bigger and expanded over time. To good friends, good food, and good sights! 🎆

How/when did you know this was your person?

Did you know it was gonna be your long term/life partner instantly OR did it take you some time (weeks-months) to know?

I’m back to dating for the first time in 4 years (31F) after a bad breakup and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to feel when it’s right I guess

What is your favourite thing your wife does?

So, I know this is controversial but since I was young I’ve always just wanted to be a wife/ a mum. I was just wondering what sort of thing men love about their wives.

I’m 20, never been in a relationship and I think I want to spend the next few years preparing to be a good mum and a good woman.

Is your wife a good cook? Does she look after you, if so how?

Ps- pleaseee no hate, everyone has different dreams and goals. I just want a family and a comfy, settled life.

Thank you in advance! 💕🧁

His parents agreed for our marriage

We dated for years. When my parents wanted us to get married, he spoke to his parents, but they refused. Around the same time, he lost his job. He got back on his feet, convinced them, and now we're getting married. 🥹❤️

My wife and I have a collection of Jellycats.

These are the two we travel with. We collected Jellycats from Australia, Japan and Taiwan. We have over 30 of them. It makes us really happy. They are super soft, cuddly, cute and we have nick names for them. It’s one of our hobbies that we enjoy together. We are both young at heart and that’s one of the reasons we are so compatible.

Anyone here found love and got married after 33?

​

I'm curious to hear from people who met their life partner after 33. Did being older make dating easier because you knew what you wanted, or harder because everyone seemed to be settled already?

What advice would you give to someone who's still waiting for the right person instead of rushing into marriage?

Success stories and honest experiences are both welcome.
