ok, opening a new topic ---

how many of you all are married? How long have you been married? And do you consider your spouse to be your BEST FRIEND?

Me : Married for 14 years and yes, we are best friends in every sense of the word ---still hold hands every where we go, kiss each other all the time, my husband calls me "my love or "Baby" when he addresses me, and we still go out for dates once a month. He's everything I need. :smile:

    Married, coming up on our one year anniversary on June 1st, and yes, he is my best friend.

    To give you WAY too much information, he got me out of a really really bad drug situation. So not only do I love him a lot, I really, quite literally, owe him my life. We have one child, and he is the best father our son could ever have. He thinks I'm the most beautiful woman in the world, and tells me that all the time. I like these threads about liking our spouses.

    But...I will probably still vent once in a while.

    It doesn't matter how happy you are, it would be incredibly boring if you never ever fought with your husband. Then you could never make up. :bigsmile:

    I have been married for 5 years this August, and I do consider him to be my best friend. We are going through a very rough patch right now, but that is making me love him even more because he does love me unconditionally! Everything a best friend is supposed to be, he is!!

    Happy anniversary bodibykelli, and lokifae!!

    I second that emotion. My husband and I have only been married for 2 years, but have known each other for many more. He was there for me and my father when my father was dying of cancer. He has helped me raise children from a previous marriage as if they are his own. He is a full-time student to get his civil engineering degree (started college at 29) so as to provide better for our family. Currently as I am typing this, he has been out since about 3 a.m. this morning striping lines in parking lots to provide extra money. He has managed to be a full time father, full time husband and best friend, and still pull a straight A average. Outside of my father, he is the one person I have admired most in my world because of his strength, his loyalty, his stability, his patience, and most importantly his love. Because of my past, I tend to give him a run for his money as far as the trust issue goes. But he has been patient and loving and never let me down, no matter how many times I test him. I have an almost daily contact with my ex because of the kids, and my husband handles it with grace and honor in a way I'm not sure I ever could. When the world is rocky for the kids, he is their solid stability at all times, always treating and punishing them fairly, and quick to love and hold them afterwards so there is no doubt how important they are to him (getting teary eyed here). So I definitely second the "I love my husband" idea.

    Congratulations on your 14 years of happiness with your best friend. I wish you many, many, many more.

    27 years. & we still have sex...........together.......sorry TMI . LOL We do get along very nicely. We know when the other needs alittle space and when not. Our daughter moved out in Jan. so we only have a14 yr. son who does his own thing. We find that we are getting the alone time all the time now!. For all you young mothers or mothers to be it gets easier as they get odler. One day you'll be sitting on your front porch with your husband talking about where time has gone. "Sigh" With a smile on your face and tears in your eyes your gonna say " Bye bye, don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Love You, visit often". " Honey do you want to go to the Grand canyon next week?," I'm packing. =):laugh: :heart: :blushing:

    I've been married for only 2 months but have known my husband for 10 years.. He is without a doubt my best friend. We have so much fun together and we love each other immensly. Instead of having a big wedding, we had a very small ceremony in our foyer and bought each other Harley's!

    I love my husband too, we have been married almost 2 year. He is my very, very best friend I love spending time with him. We have been wanting to have a child since we got married. Unfortunately we just found out I am not going to be able to have one. Not that we had a lot of "intimacy" before, but now it is scaled backed to zero. Is it possible to be married forever when the "intimacy" stops?

    Whenever a couple finds our future altering news, it does throw them back considerably. But don't despair. Since he is your very best friend, you guys will continue to work on it. I can no longer have children, and my husband married me knowing that. He wants them, he doesn't deny it. But he says it's fun "practicing". But I do understand the "intimacy" issue. I think the neat thing about being married to your best friend is that intimacy can come in all different varying shades and forms because it's a feeling and interests that you only share with that one person. Enjoy every avenue of intimacy marriage has to offer...you never know where it might lead :flowerforyou:

    I love this thread...I was going to start one this morning. You beat me to it!

    My husband is WONDERFUL. We work so hard to have a fulfilling relationship and it is so worth it. There is no one I would rather spend forever with. :heart: Next month is our 9th Anniversary, we have three beautiful boys and love every moment spent together. Even the unpleasant ones.

    I have been married for over 28 years now and yes he is my best friend. Our marridge has had quite a few potholes, detours (due to reconstruction) rough patches, and has been repaved a few times. I wouldn't want to go back and do it over, I love where we are now. Our kids are grown and have their own lifes and we have 3 granddaughters that visit us quite often.
    My husband can fix anything, he can work on the cars, fix the plumbing (in fact we build our house almost 3 years ago, just him and me) electric, flooring, you name it, he can do it. He has changed to the better during the years and I am so grateful for that.
    He is not controlling at all, if I want something and we can afford it I can buy it. He even treated my sister nicely when they came to visit last year:laugh: . I can go visit my friends anytime I want to , he lets me go home every other year to germany ( for 4 weeks)and we love to travel together anytime we can.Right now I am not working and he tells me it's ok, God will take care of us and not to worrie ....so I don't. We go to church together but we also spend time by ourselves... I guess I'm to blessed to be stressed LOL
    Hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you for starting this tread:flowerforyou:

    Still head over heels, honeymoon hasn't stopped in almost 7 years. Very much my best friend (o.k., you guys put sex on the brain cause I started typing breast friend). Like everyone, we have had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day I love him. He still opens my car door for me and holds all other doors.

    I'm jealous!! I do love my husband very much, I just feel that we are so far apart most of the time. He does his thing, (fishing at the moment) and I do mine with our 2 boys in tow. Yet we have been married for over 18 years. :heart: :brokenheart: :heart:
