Talking to someone a while back, about how I would love a marriage where my husband wakes myself and his children (my step children) up, and tells me to get up, get changed and pack because he booked a last second trip to [insert place I went once, and would love to go again here].
"Hey baby, I know it's 6:30am... but get changed and pack. I've already got the kids up and the dogs in their vacation home. Just called the office and I'm using my unused vacation time to say... we're driving down to Rehoboth beach for a week!"

How do you treat him? You want to be treated like a Queen, treat him like a King!!0

Unless he is a psychic... or you can plant thoughts in other people's heads without writing it down and passing them a note... YOU are JUST unrealistic... "TOO" unrealistic would be him pulling out a magic carpet and expecting him to fly Y'all to a tropical destination on that...
The key to any good marriage is COMMUNICATION0 -
what is wrong with you making arrangements?0

I'm still a 25 year old single woman. As a child I remember saying "I wanna be married by 25, and kids by 30."
Where's my prince? lol.0 -
Tell him what you want. Men can't take hints, not subtle hints or even obvious ones. Say what you want.0

Truth! And they appreciate it when we are direct! I know that it feels like that's taking some of the "magic" out of it, but chances are he's doing the best he can. Just tell him what you'd like.0 -

Marriage is over rated. Enjoy your youth. What's the rush.
Ps: there may never be a "prince" just a husband.0 -
Men are pretty bad at knowing what women want.

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm in a marriage where that type of surprise is not necessary, and that we don't need to escape from our beautiful life at home.
But no judgement, as we all can have our own dreams. I agree with the others, you need to let him know what you want. It's not an unrealistic dream.0 -
Girl, you're watching too many romcoms.0

That's.... well too specific a fantasy for someone not in a relationship. Honestly, I'd worry that by embracing such specific and detailed wants, you might be closing your mind to alternate possibilities.0

... I would say if this is what you are concerned with when it comes to finding a relationship, the reason you haven't found your "prince" is that you're concerned with really arbitrary, superficial things that might not have a place in your actual life?
Just me though.

Marriage is not overrated. You get out what you put in and if both parties truly love and respect each other then marriage is a true blessing0 -

Tomayto Tomahto. I've been married 26 years. It's a work in progress and always will be.0 -
Considering you're already limiting yourself to a guy who has kids and doesn't yet exist in your life? Yes.0

I bet you also want to be surprised with a car in the driveway on Christmas morning, right?? Without any concern about how much any of this cost or finances etc etc.
