Been married 29 years now, and we still have a LOT of fun, just like we did when we first met.
I beleive part of our success is that we have some common ground, but both of us have quite a few things that we do that the other isn't really interested in.
I'm into wood cutting/chainsaws, drag racing, raising Min-Pin's, some fishing/hunting. Deb is into gardening, gourmet cooking, shopping, making wine, etc.
We both LOVE travelling together, riding our Road King all over the country, taking the grand kids places, going out to nice dinners, movies, etc.
I fully respect the things she likes to do, and if I end up at a wine tasting, which I don't care all that much about, I make the best of it.
She ends up at a drag race a few times a year, and just sits in her lawn chair and gets some sun, but doesn't complain about the event.
Basically, it's about give and take, having your own time and space, and making the best of the times you are together.
I don't think there is any single human being that you are going to have complete 100 percent compatability with. I also believe that some women are a LOT better than others.
I've watched just about every single one of my friends from high school get married and divorced, some multiple times, and they always seem to have troubled relationships. Marraige isn't easy, it just doesn't happen, you have to work at it like anything else. Women require constant maintenence, and if you don't do it, rest assured someone else is going to do it for you!.....Cliff
