    My wife and I agree on 90% of things...it's almost kind of disturbing, when you really think about it.

    I think most people have a huge misconception of what marriage is and the expectation of what we "get" out of it. Marriage is work. Marriage is difficult. Marriage takes time. A lifetime to do it right. Focus more on what you can give your spouse rather than what you can get from him/her and you will find your marriage much more enjoyable. Make it your goal to make them happy and they will make sure you are happy. Now of course there are some self destructive, extremely self centered individuals out there which are the exception, no doubt...

    I have found that if I am willing to compromise on smaller things, my opinion has more weight when I decide to stand my ground on something. My wife and I rarely fight, but we do have discussions. That's not a euphemism either, we discuss the pros and cons of things and we don't get upset, and we decide on a course of action. A good chunk of the time I just don't really care though.

    Making a woman happy isn't about conforming and compromise. It's about listening to what want and understanding what they need. I try and buy my wife a gift or do something special every month or so. A nice full body massage goes a long way. Never buy gifts when you did something stupid. Suck it up, apologize and take it like a man. Help out with the laundry, cooking, dishes and other chores. If you follow that recipe you are on your way to a happy mariage.

    In our case we have an understanding that the person who feels the most strongy about the item prevails. This is worked for us for the last 17 years

    There is lots of discussion going on in our house and a heck of a lot of compromise. If one of us has very strong feelings though, that one will say so, and the other will usually give in.

    Its called a give and take relationship, I give and she takes. LOL. Really it’s about a 70/ 30 split and yes it’s in her favor.

    A happy wife is a happy life...right?

    I like this guy ^ Yea, this guy is good. :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    This is the smartest man ever. He must be very happy. Would you teach my ding bat of a fiance the right way to be a man?

    Also, there is no compromise on the toilet seat. DOWN! Just like a good boy, ha!

    Or completely unhappy because he is always putting everyone before himself. EVERYONE needs their needs met as well as being able to meet their partners needs. There has to be compromise and sacrifice. But if you love each other it never feels like it because it is give and take. You never feel like a doormat or that you are taking advantage of someone.

    Just like you I don't need much to be happy. As long as I can workout, watch football and catch a horror/action (she won't watch them with me) flick every once in awhile, I'm cool.
