He's honest, hard working, dedicated to our family, and has the most integrity of anyone I've ever known. And he listens...really listens when we talk.

She was my neighborhood friend and schoolmate from 1944 to 1958, then my bride and only love since.
58 years happily married.

Married for 37 years happily. The first one was 26 years but only the first 16 were happy. The second has been 21 years. So far so good! She does not hold grudges. She is very opinionated but I help her temper her passion to avoid making enemies.

She is my soulmate and an angel. We sometimes argue but never go to bed angry.

She is also gorgeous (but so was my first wife) and what I love is her insides.

Met my DH in the summer of 1979. Married him at the age of 19 after knowing him only 2 weeks. Fast forward 38 years. He is the kindest most "diplomatic" person I have ever know. He is funny, always hard working and keeps me foremost in his mind. It was a God thing when we met and I am so blessed he puts up with me. I very opinionated and can sometimes be hard to get along with. Always doing for others, especially for me. Love, love, love this man.

Geez... I have only been married 1 year, but she was my girlfriend for 24 years. Opinionated, stubborn and animal lover to a fault. She will move dead animals from the road as a sign of respect and cry at the thought of someone being cruel to animals.

I held her mother's hand and was there for her 2 sisters, when they passed from cancer.

I say "no" occasionally, but she can generally change it to yes if it's the right thing to do. I love this woman!

He is always kind and sweet. He fell in love with me when I was in a long term relationship with his best friend when we were 18. I fell in love with him the same day. It wasn't until that relationship was over that we had our first date and found out how special that day was for both of us. I remained friends with my ex-boyfriend. One day he called my ex-BF to invite him to a New Year's party. He asked my ex-BF if it was ok to invite me (we were all home from college/medical school at our parents' houses). He politely asked my ex-BF if it was ok with him if I was also invited. I was sitting there in the kitchen visiting with him and his mom. Grinning, my ex-BF, said, "Let me ask her."

Our first date was two days later, right before I had to return to Los Angeles. We never looked back.

I've never felt that forever, it was meant to be, feeling with anyone else.
