We have had a rough 20 years and have found that sticking it out with your mate is the answer. He may seem mean sometimes and he may not always do what I want, but he loves ME and that's what counts. I sometimes wonder how he puts up with me. There were some days that I can say I really didn't like him, but that was because I was being selfish. I can see that now, but try and tell me that years ago, I would have argued with you!!!
See his sweet smiling face. He is really good to me.
I notice that as the years have gone by our thinking has began to merge. You know how osmosis works? Well marriage can be the same way. So, yes, it can be bad or good! Hopefully yours is good.
One piece of advice as far as marriage goes. "Always try to have some things in common". Even if your tastes change in the next few years and more than likely they will, try some new stuff. For example, my husband loves Football. He loves being an official for football too. So one year he had a game to officiate on my birth date. I love my birthday, but I went for him that year, and it was probably the best birthday I had. I had lots of attention from his buddies because of the sacrifice I made for him on MY birthday. Do I like Football? No, and I never will. But I go.. for him. So try to always keep an open mind and find common interests even when its not something you really want to do. TRY IT! You might actually like doing it, or just maybe you like it because it makes HIM happy. :)
