great story, I've been married for 27 years, and I can still say that he is the love of my life, my best friend and the greatest guy in the world!!

Knight and I have been married 7 years, and I think our secret is to go to bed angry. Most of the time, we find that it's FAR better to get some sleep rather than stay up all night hashing things out. Things always look more sensible in the morning after a good night's sleep... and we both say things we don't mean when we're tired and angry.

What a funny, precious story. Your honey sounds like a great husband.
Hubby and I have been together for 10 years and we still have those funny sweet moments. It's wonderful when your husband is also your best friend.

Gah. That's both hilarious and touching. What a guy!

Did you take off your clothes later? Forget it...don't answer that.

Laughter. Patience with each other. Respect for each other. I do the laundry, he empties the dishwasher. ;) The little things, like remembering to pick up Diet Cokes on the way home from work, or calling me in the middle of the day to tell me about something he saw/heard/did that he knew would make me smile.

That is a great story. :)I love it when my spouse...

2008-07-27T18:54:00.000-07:00

That is a great story. :)

I love it when my spouse does things like that. It's really the little things that matter the most.

we've been married 16 years (together for over half our lives) and you are so right, it's those little things that make a difference....that make me smile remembering....

KEEP THAT MAN!

I have to know though.... did he walk into the nursery and ASK for Chlamydia? Did he???

STUMBLING this one. It's too funny not to!

2008-07-26T16:30:00.000-07:00

What a lovely, hilarious post this was. My husband is very much like yours. He remembers the little things that I say offhand and in passing. He remembers the the things that I forget I even said. He is a SAHD to our four busybodies and he's great at it.

Me & Jenna are wrapping up 7 years in September, and here's what I like about us. We don't "process" everything. We don't talk everything out. We just drop most of it. We both have wills. They cross. We get miffed. And we drop it. But of course I drop more than her because I'm so sacrificial.

Him and I must have beers someday. The STD and hothouse comments are just my style.

2008-07-26T04:41:00.000-07:00

Clematis are beautiful. My husband never teased me about confusing them with an STD but he DID destroy my very gorgeous clematis.

Sounds like your hubby is very sweet.

I was screaming clematis the whole time I was reading!

2008-07-25T22:20:00.000-07:00

Hi! Thank you for checking out my new blog! I love yours, and have been following it for a while - found it through my sister, mama ginger tree. You are awesome.

Oh, and the glue for my husband and I is that whenever I am upset about anything at all, my husband says "it's going to be ok". The best part is that he does this because years, years, years ago when we were first dating, I told him that this is all I wanted him to say when I was upset, worried, etc. He still does it, and I love it.

2008-07-25T19:40:00.000-07:00

It's official. We've summed up the secrets to loving relationships and they are laughter, patience, letting us be in charge (me too MM) and last but not least, iphones.

I now need to go and discuss my lack of said iphone with my wonderful husband.

2008-07-25T17:29:00.000-07:00

This was just such a beautiful post. LOVE IT!

As for what holds us together? Also the little things. And the LACK of a shared sexually transmitted disease ;)

2008-07-25T10:02:00.000-07:00

What an incredibly romantic story made more so because it was so real and unforced. (I have to admit though that I thought the same thing your husband did when I heard chlamydia.)

What holds us together? A long shared history and the way we can still make each other laugh - mainly when we finally have five minutes for some romance and end up lying in bed laughing ourselves silly instead.

2008-07-25T08:09:00.001-07:00

Especially when the partner pops up from the back and says "very careful" lol

2008-07-25T08:09:00.000-07:00

I thought they were called Clematis.. hmm..Anyhoo, you have possibly the sweetest husband ever. Hilarious that you thought it was called Chlamydia..LOL Amy, those get me too!

2008-07-25T07:41:00.000-07:00

*sigh*. This is the sweetest story ever. Sadly, something like that would NEVER happen in my house, sweet saint that my husband is, because his brain is a sieve. It's not intentional, something about misfiring neurons and a diagnosis of ADD, but he can't remember what I asked him to get me this MORNING nevermind many moons ago.

We've been married over 10 years, and I definitely think his ability to make me laugh, and his willingness to let me be the CEO of our life, has kept us together. We have the same sense of humor and crack each other up. He is also very tolerant of my issues with power and happily lets me micromanage everything. No stress for him and control for me - it's a win/win.

What a sweet man!

Most recently, my husband drove all over Utah on a Saturday to find me an iPhone.

2008-07-25T03:55:00.000-07:00

I love that vine too! Most people around here have them on their mailboxes. Beautiful! I love the small things too. They mean so much more. And fortunately, my fiance' is great at them too. Nice to meet your blog, I found you through "But Why Mommy?"

Love that story! How sweet of him to remember.
Our glue is laughter, as so many others said. And patience, especially on his part. I can be a major PITA, although he denies it.

2008-07-24T23:46:00.000-07:00

I decided that I wasn't going to tell you it is clematis because it didn't really matter...it will always be chlamydia to you!

Clematis always make me think of my dad - long story, but that's how I knew what it was. Yours is the most gorgeous shade and I hope you have it for years to come.

I'm not married, so I can't share my glue, but there has always been shared humor in my best relationships.

the glue? laughter. hands down.great post!
