melodymatters Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 When I was a little kid, my favorite thing in the world was to have sleepovers with my best friend. We'd watch movies, have snacks and laugh ourselves half to death. Add great sex and you have my marriage in a nutshell ! 13
BetheButterfly Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 It can be anything. My husband!!! :bunny: I like AND LOVE my husband so much!!! We are passionate lovers. We are best friends. We are partners: sexual partners and partners in every area of life. We are a team. We are the combination/unification of 2 different families. We will be nucleus of a "new" family (when we have kids). We are each other's emotional support. We are each other's counselors. We are each other's cheerleaders. We are each other's personal massage therapist. We are each other's protectors. We are each other's comic relief. We provide for each other. We help each other. We are housemates. We are a cultural diverse melting pot. We walk together, hand in hand, in the same path in life. All the above is what I like about getting married to my husband. Now, I have been married before and I did not experience all the above with my ex-husband, which is why I think marriage = awesome when married to a person with whom one loves and is compatible. Marriage can be horrible or awesome; it really depends on the people married! ) 7

Eve Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 . We have a great laugh together . We look after each other. He is the only person who has ever cared for me whilst I have been unwell - I mean full multi tasking! . Sexually matched . We do special things for each other and it's always lovely to hear each say, 'is there anything I can do for you sweetheart?' and fully mean it . We share parenting really well . Have similar tastes in friendships/dislike the same types of persons . Though we have had completely different careers we have always supported each other and have the same views about money/charity/community . Vibrant shared faith . Shared interest in nature/rivers/sea Take care, Eve x
Mr. Lucky Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 . We have a great laugh together ^^^ This. My wife is the one person that can always make me laugh. And that's gotten us through many marital crises, arguments, disasters, etc... Mr. Lucky 1
xxoo Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The love, tenderness, and support. A co-parent. I would never want to parent alone. The sex. Sharing the expenses and the responsibilities. Halving our sorrows and doubling our joys. Really, everything. 2
Nyla Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 The sex part. Nothing better than making love with someone who has promised to be your faithful partner for life. I enjoy the romance of trying to keep the spark alive. The commitment gives both of us a sense of security. When I am in my husband's arms, my intuition whispers "This is home." 2
KathyM Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I like having the permanent companionship of someone I know so well, who I can count on, who is always there for me. I like how he takes care of me, and I like taking care of him. We complement each other--providing each other with what they need. We are a team that helps each other and supports each other. I like the constant supply of affection and love from someone I love. I like having a solid, stable partnership that is important in raising a family. It would be very difficult to raise a family alone. I enjoy having him around all the time. He's playful, he's smart, he's helpful, he's cute, he's passionate, he's sexy, he's affectionate. We have a history together. Memories together. Continually dating and going from relationship to relationship would not appeal to me. 3
Afishwithabike Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 What do I like about being married? He's the one who married me when he was a young man and I a young woman, the one with whom I've created lasting memories with and had a family. Our histories are so intertwined. We have loads of stories, anecdotes and a well of memories to draw from. He's physically fit and that makes the sex even better. He can always make me laugh. He's a great co-parent and my best friend.
Afishwithabike Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 being physically fit doesn't make sex better. yeah I know women swoon over giant muscles. but unless you're atrociously unfit, sex can be outstanding. Speak for yourself. I was speaking for myself and my husband and our relationship. You're not an expert on my relationship. He doesn't have big giant muscles and I wouldn't want him to, but he's toned. And yeah, him being fit and not having flab or a big stomach does make sex better for me. I'm not sure why you felt the need to dispute something that was about my relationship.

Ursa Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 So many things, most already artfully detailed by previous posters. He is my best friend. He's my kids' dad, and he's wonderful at that. He's my travel buddy. He's the cock in my henhouse, wink wink...and he's got such a cute arse. I love that I'm not afraid of growing old, because I know he'll be there beside me, holding my hand. There's just this warm steadfast mix of sex and support and comfort. Even if we're struggling a bit through a rough patch, there's always in the background, that understanding that we'll come through the other side even closer. I was also lucky that I found a mate who complements me so well--we are neither of us perfect people, but my strengths tend to shore up his weaknesses, and vice versa. This has helped us make a life together that is superior and more secure to that which either of us could likely maintain on our own, not just financially but emotionally and in every other way. We both deeply appreciate that about the other. I love how our families have twined together over the years, as well. I love when we fall asleep holding hands. And that after several years together, we each have trouble sleeping without the other. He was gone on business for a week recently--we both were exhausted by the time he got back! 1
RiverRunning Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Someone comes home to me every night. He is the most important person in my world, and I am the most important person in his. I love all that we have built together as a couple - that this other person knows me almost as well as I know myself. We are counselors for each other during the bad times, and cheerleaders as well. No one else would do that for me (nor would I spend that much energy on anyone else). I don't feel alone in my marriage. Getting married has given me a lot. 1
HonestNeurotic Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Whether we were officially married or not - it's that no matter what - this man accepts me for who I am and I know that he will always love me, despite myself and my failings. I was married once before, and I seriously never wanted to be married again. but I could not imagine my life without him in it. I know that no matter what happens, we'll be there for each other. He loves me unconditionally, and that's so very rare.
