"Soul mate" couples are often happy at first, because they have intense emotional and personal connections...Geez, Tony the bus driver on the old Drew Carey show knew this years ago - Carey, who was always trying the make it with the ladies without much luck, had a girlfriend who wanted to marry him but he was hesitating -"I don't see fireworks when I'm with her" complained Carey to the driver - "Fireworks!? fireworks are for teenagers!" snapped Tony "Do you like being with her? Does she like being with you? That's love dumbass - go tell her" - great bit......

During my teen years my parents yelled at each other every evening. I spent time in my bedroom studying to avoid it. You would think they hated each other. They will be married 65 years tomorrow. They still yell at each other. Guess they are well mated - they must enjoy it on some level.
