[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always think that—if you thought about your best friend from  HS or college or your 20s and then imagine you had to live with them for the rest of your life and make all decisions jointly...you would say “no way!  That’s crazy!”  
All that plus sex is a lot to put on one relationship.  It’s no wonder that it fails 40% of the time, and is fairly miserable in about half of the rest.  [/quote]

Actually, occasionally I have a fleeting thought that marriage has all the fun of a nonstop slumber party (and a lot more benefits than that, haha) -- but I cherish the closeness and intimacy of being there for each other, year after year. We are extremely compatible and know each other well, yet he still manages to surprise me and make me think on a daily basis. I admire him deeply ... the kindest person I know, a strong work ethic, the kind of man that babies and dogs and cats are just naturally drawn to. He's just a ray of sunshine in the world basically, and I get to live with him! (Married almost 21 years.)[/quote]
