[quote=Anonymous]DH and I met freshman year of college / in our late teens. I don’t think either of us believes in the idea of a soulmate or “the one”. We dated a long time since we were so young (10 years) before marriage and have been married 15 years. Solid friendship and sex life. I’m not sure our values are always aligned, but we learn and grow and adjust. We have young kids so that can be exhausting and we do get frustrated with each other, but we’re still good friends. I think we both agree that one of the challenges in our relationship is that our strengths and weaknesses are very similar, so we don’t compensate for those weaknesses well. For instance, we both really enjoy sports and playing with our kids, and often pick that over getting the laundry done on weekends. Our home is often cluttered. In terms of values, some of our differences is (a) I’m a little religious and he is not at all (atheist) (2) although we’re both liberal, he’s more so than I am (3) I tend to stress about saving / stretching dollars and he doesn’t (we’re very stable financially, but I’m still more conservative with money) and (4) his favorite way to unwind is to be home / quiet with a book and mine is to be out with friends. I knew all this when we married - and I make sure I see my female friends quite often - but recently we’ve made a bigger push to have more dates because I miss going out with him![/quote]
