[quote=Anonymous]It is so difficult to figure out what really contributed to our success.  DH and I came into the relationship without any baggage at a very young age. We were each other's first and only love. Dated for 5 years and were virgins when we married.  So we did not have any previous relationships or broken hearts.  We came from similar households, no divorces, no abuse-addiction-adultery, educated families, middle class, conservative spenders, education and children were made priority.  We got along with each others parents. 
In terms of education, both DH and I are similarly educated, and have equal partnership. We agree on most every aspect of our marriage, finances, children etc.  We share the same values, principles and goals.  Our children are healthy, good students, moral citizens and loving human beings.  We have a decent HHI and we are doing well in terms of savings etc.  DH has a secure job, I was lucky to retire very early and stay at home with my kids.  In other words, we have not had the drama of previous relationships, financial hardships, infertility or SN children, disability, significant health problems, ILs, job insecurity, adultery-abuse-addiction.  We have matched libidos and we have a good love life. 
We are very average and very drama-free.  We are each other's best friends. We do things together. We have hobbies and a nice circle of friends and we get together with different group of friends at least once a week/10 days.  We volunteer and donate to worthy causes and that makes us feel good but also utterly thankful.  We are a team.   [/quote]
