She clearly made every other woman I'd met look bad (or at least less attractive) by comparison.

We shared extreme compatibility in almost every area, from beliefs to leisure activity (e.g., we both were active in martial arts and read a lot of philosophy and sci-fi). We felt an incredible emotional connection, have great, open and honest communication, and the sex was an order of magnitude better than any we'd previously experienced (and still is!). Add the fact that she was (and still is) beautiful, graceful, motivated, responsible, intelligent, warm, kind, compassionate, and sensual, and she is my ideal match.

This is a second marriage for us both, and we both learned a great deal from our first marriages, especially what to avoid, and what to seek in a mate.

We had known each other for several years, and I knew she was basically an honest, truthful person, who was not jealous of my other friends or hobbies. She didn't try to control my every move or thought, we enjoyed the same things and both like to laugh. I felt life without her in it would be lonesome and terrible.

I can definitely relate.

it was something that small ended up making her the closest to perfect i have ever found.

we have zero issues in our marriage thanks to this.
Wow pretty deep.

Married men why did you choose your wife?

She chose me and as she never exhibited any negative traits we just kinda stayed together, 35th wedding anniversary coming up in August..

Although we cant technically get married - but we are as good as - I can answer the OPs question simply by saying that as I grew to knew the girls I am now with it got to the point where I could not picture my life without them and they figured in all my plans - ideals - dreams - hopes for the future.

So I guess it was not really a decision I conciously made but one that life made for me.
