Because he's my best friend. He gets my sense of humor, he understands me, and we can read each others minds. Finish each others sentences.

It'll be 5 years on the 22nd. He was my first true love, and I've known him since I was 15. Married at 23. He is everything that I could have ever dreamed of.

I love him and he is my best friend. I knew him many years before we were marrid, just friends.

I was in Puerto Rico, he was in NY and he proposed over the phone. I had to say yes.

Because i couldn't imagine taking one more breath without him next to me. He is everything in my life. You got me in my worst moments to ask this, because i live in CA and he works in IN so we only get to see each other almost every 1 1/2 - 2 months...go figure how i felt yesterday :-(
But again i love him with all my heart and soul. We've been married for 19 years and every time i see him still feels like first time. :P

Because we have sooooo much in common...our love of water sports, music, our work ethic, etc. And another thing that was important was the relationship he has with his parents....he's seen how it's supposed to work and has had wonderful examples to immulate. We've been married 27 years...

I fell in love with his family. They are all really great people and I couldn't imagine not having them in my life if we were not together. I have 5 sisters and a brother and his family loves them, and is as close to them, as they are to me. If I'd have not married him, both families would have had a fit! We have been together 22 years and will be married 18 years in April.

He asked and I said yes. He made me laugh, and 47 years later he still does.

I loved him dearly, he made me laugh, he's a wonderful Godly man and we share the same faith. I am so glad I found him, I was 14 he was 16. Married at 19 and 21 almost 31 years ago.

Never thought I would marry ... he said we would marry after one week of chatting online (yes we met online).

Wasn't sure I wanted to marry him, went to meet a couple of friends one weekend and knew I needed to make a decision. I tried imagining my life without him, and that's when I knew he was the one I wanted to share my life with forever ...

It's been 11 years ... it will be 12 years in October of this year.

We are 2nd marriages. I had been single for almost 18yrs and him for a year. We meet and it was like we had known each other our whole lives. He was 47 and i was 36. We just clicked. I think he is God's reward to me for trying to live right and be a good person. We have been married since 12-13-07 and never knew what true love and happiness was until we met. God has blessed us. I think we were made for each other, just took us a while to find each other.
