[quote=Anonymous]We've been together for 25 years and married for 18. We are still very much in love and truly happy.

Some of the previous posters have mentioned an almost absolute division of labor; we definitely have that and I agree it helps. I manage the household, do all of the cooking and meal planning, pay all the bills and manage our investments, plan all of our social events and vacations. He does all of the physical labor, washes all the dishes, does laundry, maintains the house and property, cleans the litter boxes and more.

We both work full time out of the home in completely different fields so have lots of experiences to bring home and discuss with each other. We tend to sit and chat over tea or dessert at end of the day and usually get in a good 20-30 minutes of talking.

We have a mid-week date night every week and have done since our first child was about 3 months old. We usually go out to dinner with friends, but also sometimes see movies, go shopping for household items or take the chance to work late (if we have to).

We are both equally invested in our children and share raising them 50/50. We spend plenty of time together as a family, put the kids to bed together at night, eat together as a family at dinner 5-6 nights each week.

We are romantically compatible and make an effort to be kind to each other. We do fight but generally end up laughing by the end and always are able to conclude our disagreements within a day or two.

Not sure I have any real advice, but I would say we are both tolerant, loyal and kind to each other.[/quote]
