What's your love story? How did you and your spouse meet?

Kinda boring for us. We lived in the same building and we'd often talk on the way in or out and on the elevator. After a month or so of this he asked me to join him for drinks. The rest is history. Together 25 years.

On the first day of graduate school. Same class. He asked me out a week later. Together 30 years.

We went to college together. We had several classes together and became friends. I was dating someone else at the time and he had a thing for my roommate. Those eventually ended and we ended up together starting junior year.

Elevator situation here too.

DH and I met at work. I was a new lawyer at DOJ and I was on the floor where the law library was chatting with a friend before getting on the elevator to go back up to my office and I saw him standing there in the hall talking to someone. Smiling, gesturing, laughing. Great looking. And he just looked super happy and competent. Which, it turned out, he is. I said "Who's that?" to my friend, and she said "That's Larlo." I knew immediately. And here we are, happily married, 22 years later.

We hated each other. Ended up out with a group of mutual friends, somehow ended up sitting next to each other having great conversation. Went on a date later that week. Both admitted that although we had our preconceived notions about the other we had crushed on each other for sometime. Ended up back at his place. And after that night I pretty much knew where the relationship was going.

DH and I. Boring, moderately attractive people. Living a blissfully boring and routine life. Met him in college. He was the friend (from an EC) of my dorm-mate. He was not a bad boy. He was the good and decent boy. Careful, gentle, attentive, compassionate, respectful, moral, righteous, kind, a huge heart.

I saw him and instantly knew that he will be my husband. It was interesting - it was not lust, insane physical attraction or crush. (Maybe it was because both of us had not had any emotional or physical romantic relationship by then. Sex was not guiding us).

Instead, it was a feeling that he was my man and my family. I became very relaxed and chilled after meeting him. For me, it was a foregone conclusion. I could see my brothers liking him, my dad liking him, my mom liking him, and I knew that I could trust him forever with my heart, that I would grow old with him, and that he would be the best father to my kids.

Been together 37 years. It is still the same. My heartbeat does not accelerate when I see him. Instead, my heartbeat becomes stable when I see him. He is my calm and relaxed place. My peace and my home.

I feel he and I have been together for many lifetimes and he is not only what I have manifested but also what I have earned through my good deeds. And I am forever grateful that I knew it at first glance.

I had just moved back to town and a mutual friend introduced us. Coming up on 20 years or marriage.

Coworker invited me to see his band perform and as soon as I saw the guitarist I knew. I had never been so attracted to anyone in my life. He came and sat next to me as soon as they were done..love at first sight for both of us.
It has been 16 years and we are not very compatible but the attraction is still huge.

Introduced by a friend.

We met for drinks on a Tuesday with the friend, then to an art opening on our first date that Friday. The date lasted till Monday morning. Been together 32 years.

Our respective lifelong friends married each other and they set us up on a semi-blind date (we were both in their wedding party but I took my then-boyfriend).

By our third date, I told my friend that I loved him and that i wanted to marry him. She told her husband -who told his BFF …and we dated for three years and engaged for one AND the inside knowledge never revealed to me for years!

Married 30 years. 5 DC.

My BFF was dating DH's college roommate, and we met when I went to visit her. BFF eventually married DH's roommate, and we're all still married and friends 34 years later.
