Firmly believe that giggle fits are one of the cornerstones of a solid relationship 
Why do you love being married.

I spent my 20's believeing all women were manipulative and crazy...not that that stopped me from hooking up. I jst thought that was the way it was. Then I met Laura. She is completely honest, and has the kindest soul I have ever known. Plus she is beautiful!!! She is my best friend, my partner...and I love her with all my heart. We have been married for 6 1/2 years, and although there have been tough times, we are still going strong.

Although I've only been with my guy for 4 years, and we aren't technically married... we do consider ourselves in a commited relationship and plan on having a nice wedding when we can afford it.
I like that he thinks of the little things, doesn't ever question my crazy attempts at self sufficiency, supports me, loves me, laughs with me and cries with me.
I called him once to tell him I would be home late from the barn, my horse had colic and I had to be there for the horse... 10 minutes later my boyfriend was at the barn with supper, snacks, and a warm sleeping bag... I love that.
I love that he gets up early to shovel my car out if I need to go to work on his days off...
I love that he's changed from a 'boy' when I first met him, to a man willing to put in 14 hours a day driving a garbage truck to further our dreams of having our own farm...
There are a lot of things, but I love that I have a partner in everything... I know that no matter what, there is at least one person who will stand with me through anything
Congrats to everyone on their long, wonderful marriages! It is my parents 38th anniversary on Thursday... they met on a blind date

thanks so much for these stories. I really could not picture my life any other way. I couldn't even begin to list all the things that I love about being married, (and I lived with hubby for 5 years before we got married,but it still counts). I think, just to sum it up a bit, I can be who I am, shortcomings and all, and dh still loves me. I can be me around him and he still loves me. He supports me trusts me, respects me. He does not try to control me, he is not jealous. If I am having a bad day, he doesn;t get on me for not having supper done or whatever. Instead, he is caring and sympathetic. But he also challenges me. He is strong where I am weak, and vice versa. We balance each other out in so many areas. And even after all this time together, we are still headed in the same direction. marriages do require work and commitment, and both the husband and the wife have to commit. As I said before, i wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for my dear husband.
Not all men are dogs, not all women are manipulative. I think in reality, those types are few and far between.
Hubby loves that I am frugal with our money, can kill and skin a rabbit in 15 minutes, and he loves that I want to be a stay at home mom who wants to provide for our family as best I can. And i love that he loves that.

20 years and one 18 year old DS later, and my DH still makes my heart skip a beat.
We are both very independant people, but find a way to be able to walk together though this life. I was a "princess" when I met my farm-boy, I have sure changed and for the better,he helps me be the woman I want to be.
As we try to scale down our life and live a more frugal one, we find that laughter helps keep us in tune with each other.
As I tell everyone "I had to kiss alot of frogs to get my prince"
But he was soooo worth it!
