I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. I was a new cook, first day on the job. She was the waitress on duty. She put an order on the wheel, I looked up and that was it! She made my heart race then, and she still does now. When she smiles at me I almost break down.


I am one lucky dude!
That’s awesome!

I'd be excited to go on a date where I can have a reasonable conversation and not worry about someone plotting to escalate things to the next level, instead of paying attention to the convo.

Inspiring post. I'm getting married for the 2nd time soon and I'd like it to work out more like your marriage than my first one, which lasted all of 2 years. Wrong guy, wrong reasons, wrong decisions. Oh well I was young. I hope I'll be posting "just celebrated my 50th anniversary" on here some day.

Thanks for the kind words. There is luck involved, but that's only to begin with. Robert Heinlein said that love is when the happiness of another is essential to your own happiness. So true! When she's happy, I'm happy. There is another saying: "Happy wife, happy life". I totally agree with this. Here is another tip: Three things you need in a marriage: Patience, persistence, and a sense of humor!



best of luck on your marriage!

Congratulations.

At my age (mid 50s), I may never have a marriage last that long, but I can and do hope my current SO and I make it until "death do us part" even if we don't marry.

I'm a man, been with my husband now for eight years. I'm still madly in love with him, he's my complete partner in life.

I believe that factor is what made my 93 year old grandmother snap out of her evangelical ways after so many decades and suddenly realized as I stood in front of her with my husband how perfect we are together. That I'm the same person she practically raised, the same good natured moral man. She embraced us and I was so grateful.
