Doing things for each other, even when we would rather be doing something else.
Not bean counting
we go on walks together
we have similar world views - that we talk about on our walks
we have similar expectations about our post child years- that we walk about on our walks
we both think we got the better deal  :)
We back each other up on parenting- even if we disagree in the moment (and talk about it out of ear shot of the children)
We take turns
We take separate weekends vacations with friends
We make time for each other, even when it seems like a luxury we shouldn't take
We have sane families
We have each other's back when family or work crises happen.
We are both naturally frugal
We still have intimacy - but not as frequently as we would like.  
We are both looking forward to empty nest.
We celebrate 20 years together this year.

Like many people, we have been through the wringer.  Each of our children nearly died and were in ICU with RSV before they turned one.  Both have very different special needs that will not prevent them from being fully fledged adults, but require more intense parenting for a longer length of time than typical children.   It is just getting them to productive adulthood is difficult. We have benefited from parenting coaching from qualified special needs therapists.  We have had near deaths of siblings and parents.  Both of us lost our mother in the past year.

We could use extended time together- for a weekend.  But that still isn't in the cards.  Both our children are in HS.[/quote]
