  Yes! We both are so laid back that we don't fight ever. We disagree yes but talk it out within 5 min. We know when it is important to the other and one if us backs off. When we get annoyed at little things we both just keep our mouth shut because we have had relationships in the past that were always fighting about something. We take the phrase pick your battles seriously.
  
  That said we have been together 5 years and married 2.5 of them. There is so much ahead of us so ask me again in ten years

  Yes! In our short time together (3.5 years) we have been through so much. A vicious custody fight, long distance, relocating, unemployment/financial struggles, a brain injury, and losing a child. We have survived that all and having gone through the trenches with him I know there is no one else I could have done it with. And having experienced these lows, he is the one I want to celebrate our highs with. He can drive me batty, but I can't imagine my life without him there.

  Married 11/23/11, TTC starting 10/12, BFP#1 11/30/12, Adoption of stepson finalized 03/19/13,Loss of our daughter at 20w4d due to incompetent cervix 03/27/13, BFP#2 06/28/13, DS2 born 3/1/14.

  @Kalpa521‌ yes, I have totally met those couples and know exactly what you mean.
  
  Come on guys, y'all complain about this every other UO. "I hate those couples who post super cheesy things on each others' FB walls all the time! I happen to know for a fact that he cheated on her!" or whatever it is.
  
  Of course people put on a show sometimes. I KNOW not all of my friends are as happy in their relationships as they make out in their status updates every February 14th.

  Yep.  Absolutely.  Without a doubt.

  
  

  Of course, there are also days when I want to strangle him for hang him upside down from his gnarly toenails.  But, even then I recognize that there's no one else in this world who could love me like he does and put up with me like he does.  He is one of the most loyal, patient, forgiving, laid back men I've ever met, and he is an amazing friend/husband/father.

  I could have written this.
  
  ....well, except for the gnarly toenails. Maybe I'd hang him from his nose hair.

  I love my husband very much. He is loyal, responsible, a great father, very handsome and loves me. We have been together 8 years and have been through a lot together. I do however sometimes looks at other people's marriages and wonder why it is easier for them. We're both super stubborn so we butt heads a lot and our arguments often last too long. We also both have demanding jobs, the stress of which makes us both a bit crazy (although hiring a cleaning lady a couple years ago eliminated a huge amount of stress and an entire topic to fight about).

  This is EXACTLY what I was going to write, even down to the being together for 8 years. I love my husband very much which is why I am still with him, but our relationship is very difficult. We argue often. I remember being completely shocked when a friend said she could count on one hand the number of times her and her husband had argued in the past 8 years. I could count our arguments on one hand in more like a week. I also have trust issues due to him lying about finances on multiple occasions. He is my best friend but I often wonder if marriage would have been easier with someone else.

  Yay @Laura8388! Finally someone that agrees with me. However sadly I've given In and just so it Chris' way.
  
  We also disagree on if you should sleep at the top of the bed or the bottom. And he likes his bed made up and all perfect and I like an unmade bed that's cozy

  I don't understand why anyone is moving the curtain in the first place! ...snake hand out, grope around for towel, preserving every drop of steam possible, dry, duck out around curtain. What is this pull back the curtain you all speak of?!

  @rad&co I sleep with my feet hanging off the bed. And Chris sleeps with his head right up at the headboard
