living together has been a joy and learning to compromise -- I have bad habits and so does she, but we accept that about the other
i don't see how living together could have changed things for us.
As God is my witness, I don't understand how you can be with the woman you want to spend your life with for five whole years and not be married to her. Where do you find the restraint? I knew I was going to marry my wife the day I met her. It took me three months to convince her (fool her) that I was worth it, and then another six months before the priest would let us marry. Most of my married children knew their spouses for about a year before they married. I had one son who dated his girl for three years before proposing. I said to my wife that I didn't really think he wanted to marry her or he'd have proposed two years ago. Darned if they didn't break up right after sending out the invitations. He eventually went on to marry a girl he knew five months before proposing.
Everybody's different, but good gravy, you've got some willpower, son.
Yikes!!!
Engaged Encounter Weekend...!
Found out recently, after almost 30 yrs of marriage, the hubs and some other guys jumped the wall during our Weekend and got pizza...and didn’t take me!!! If I had known, might not have shown at the altar....
