Call to the Four Lands

[Maidhc O Casain]

My experience has been that Marital Bliss is not always blissful - mine waxes and wanes, and the more time we put in the more we tend to gravitate toward 'Marital Comfort' with occasional outbreaks of 'Bliss.'

In college (and for several years after) I never really pictured myself as the marrying type, but after 12 years (next month) I still wouldn't go back if you paid me. Seems I'm made for marriage after all . . .

Bliss

Mowgli
Only because you lucked out and truly got a keeper who likes having you underfoot......

Bwaha.

Marital Bliss

My experience is that there are ups and downs as in all things in life. I think we are now settled in more or less comfortable zone after 10 years together and 3 years of marriage resulting in baby twins.

I can still see there could be problems in the future as my wife and I don't see everything eye to eye, but compared to what we've been through we are now stable...

Congratulations!

Sorry, JA, I disagree that luck had anything to do with it. I think Mowgli is to be commended for his wise choice of a bride, and his very excellent offspring. And kudos to you, too, Neurotic! My own choices in the "wife department" have been, shall we say, less wise.

Thank you for your kind words, sir! I like to think it's a fair mix of persistance (I chased her 'till she caught me) and luck (She chose me! Holy crap!).

Congrats to you as well, Neurotic. 10 and 3, with twins. I actually hoped for twins, but now that I've got the one I'm just not sure I'd have lived through it.

Congratulations, Pyrex! I wish you many years of happiness. I only give one piece of advice to newlyweds: Don't take advice from others on how to have a happy marriage, figure it out yourselves.

You guys make me feel old. I will have been married 19 years next month, and my eldest daughter is 14, starting high school in the fall. And I'm going bald.... I've got maybe 2-3 years before I look like my grandfather. At least my wife doesn't pay any attention to people who ask her how she stays married to me.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OK, that makes me feel old - I remember your wedding!

 

[Scotley]

Hell I remember Lou's wedding better than my own. But that's another story which I blame in part on certain DM's around here.

 

[Dracomeander]

OK, that makes me feel old - I remember your wedding!

No, you don't really start feeling old until the children of your friends - whose weddings you attended - start getting married. I've attended three of those.


Congrats! Pyrex. Wish you and your intended all the best.
