I am in love with him too. Sure it's not that crazy heart beated feeling when we first met, but it's a mature love based on respect, admiration, and content with one another. I feel we both have a real partnership in our life together.

It took a long road to find this happiness and I believe there are sacrafices one has to make to achieve an honest happiness.

In no way am I saying my marriage or relationship is perfect, it's far from it. But I feel we are good for each other and I am grateful.

That's so sweet, Sheryl! I'm so glad you have found such honest contentment. You don't see that very often in marriages today. (I sound old, don't I? LOL!)

I also feel that I have been blessed with an incredibly loving and caring husband. We really haven't had to work that hard to achieve this happiness, but I know it would be worth it even if it had been hard...and I've definitely seen my share of couples having a hard time.

I wish I could magically make every couple in the world have a happy and fulfilling marriage... I've considered becoming a marriage counselor, but I don't know if I'd be good at it or not.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now, but I wanted to tell you congrats on getting to such a happy place in your marriage!! I hope you only grow closer and closer together as the years go by!
