My username isn't a coincidence.........:cool:

I got married at 22. Young by most standards but I was ready, mainly because my party days started at 13. By 21 I was tired and ready to surrender.:p All kidding aside she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thanks to her I went back to school for my BS and am now working on my MBA, have three great kids, and have achieved more in life than I ever expected to. She's my best friend and we do everything together by choice, after 10 years we still do our best to go out on a date at least once weekly. I'm still waiting for her to come to her senses....

I've been married so many times... I got rice marks on my face! Flying transports in the military for damn near 3 decades, wasn't a good stay at home job. But change.....never !

This is something she is helping me with... I spend money like water... I have a modest watch collection that doesn't bother her much... she is a little confused with my knife collection...

However the worst is my foodie obsession... I was spending hundreds of dollars on high end food and drink every month... I have had to throttle back on that some.

Married to my first wife 18 years now. I enjoy keeping up the marital relations, read sex here. I like the companionship and creating your own family is an experience that cannot be properly communicated.

Which time?

Pretty much...

I know one couple that thinks they DESERVE a lavish vacation each and evey year. The have one credit card that gets loaded with the vacation expenses then they spend a year paying it off. They live in a crappy house in a declning neighborhood and have no savings.

That is nuts in my book but they have been married for 35 years and they think it is normal to live paycheck to paycheck.

I've heard most divorces are caused by arguments about money. Sounds like this couple are both on the same page, so they're good to go.

Unlike some of you guys, I have balls! My wife keeps them in a box in her underwear drawer and takes them out once in a while and lets me play with them.

Up until the day I was married, I was a dog on the run - now I am still a dog on the run but can't leave the yard.

My wife and I lived together for several years before we got married. 6 months after we started dating, as a matter of fact.

Try before you buy, I always say. ;) :D

In all seriousness, though, I know I'm not an easy guy to live with. Fortunately my wife is a saint.

One of the best lines ever in a movie. It also applies to real life!

I am jealous ;)

Marriage is a good institution for having kids. Being a good role model for your child/children is tough though.....so far so good!
Oh yes to answer your question - marriage definitely changed me and I would say for the better. 2nd marriage is way better than the first. No kids by the first. :)

Great line! May I borrow it?

well i just got married in august.... at the age of 39 she was 37 both never married we have been dating for a year to the date we got married. i knew from day one she will be my wife. i describe my relationship like snappers above. everything i lack she brings into the relationship and same for her.

Not getting married until 52, There is going to be a shock to the system for sure.

;)

Tell me about it. Life imitates art. I saw that movie with her shortly before we got married. When Nicholson came out with that line...well somehow everything was perfectly clear to me.

Addendum to my earlier response:

Added some weight and lots of gray hair.

I tease my wife that marriage causes grey hair. Neither of us had any grey when we were first married.

My wife had just graduated from HS when I met her. Playing tennis with the shortest shorts imaginable. And now 37 years later she still turns heads.

Great person and we read each others minds so often it is almost scary. I'm retired, she works because she actually likes her job, we travel anywhere we want and she let me take the 356 all over the country before deciding she likes it too. She has let me blow an amazing amount of money on the P-cars and never really questioned it.

We were lucky and fortunate to have a daughter and son that are doing well in the world and our Granddaughter is a clone of her mother which makes holidays a lot of fun. Grandson on the way in Feb.

I'm a lucky guy.

Oh My! :eek:
You must like the idea.
