Keeping the relationship going!!

[raynaputi]

Keith and I are just in our 2.5 years of marriage (almost 4 years of being in a relationship), so I'm not in the right position to give advice yet on how to keep the relationship going for a long time. Although, what I can say works for us is we always have a good laugh every single day and having things in common (whether watching football, liking the same shows, music, etc.) really helps a lot in enjoying each others company. Of course there are arguments and misunderstandings at times (it's normal with every relationship), but being on the same ground, fixing things immediately and communicating properly is the main key in patching things up. We always talk a lot regardless if what we say makes sense or not. Also, if you both accept the person who he/she is (past and present, including families of course), then I think you'd be able to have the good relationship you both want, with no hang ups whatsoever.

Very wise words Raynaputi

You and your husband are very lucky to have the same things in common as not a lot of relationships have

Hubby and I 'used' to have a lot of things in common, but as we go through being older together for longer , we tend to do a lot of things separately and don't always have the same things in common.

Also , hubby is very comfortable being solitude while I on the other hand is very sociable and will need to be 'out and about' most of the times and hubby never stops me from going anywhere, otherwise we will have a problem

But one thing that is keeping us going is that deep down we do still love and care for each other and I often tells him that I can honestly see myself wiping his if needs be or should I say if and when the time comes
