[QUOTE="BillB, post: 2459990, member: 9985"] I'm not sure I can give you a straight answer on this, Keesha, as Jackie and I more or less made it up as we went along. To start I married someone I was very much in love with. So did Jackie. Yes, I still love her and she tells me and shows me that she loves me. That's a good start. When we disagree on anything, there is a point beyond which we don't go - we try never to lose our tempers, never to insult each other and to put it behind us as quickly as possible by finding common ground. We always treated any big purchases (house, car, furniture) as joint operations and talked them over before committing ourselves. We always respected each other's opinions, even when we didn't agree. When one of us mishandled the situation of a misbehaving child by we would never disagree in front of our boys, but we'd talk it over when we were alone and out of earshot of them. Most crucial in any relationship is that neither of us conducted an affair outside our marriage. I felt I had too much to lose to go down that road, and Jackie is too faithful a person to wander off. Importantly, we still enjoy each other's company and still manage to surprise the other from time to time. And we still enjoy the company of our sons, whenever they can get away. I'm sure there are lots of smaller things that help us keep our relationship on an even keel but if I continue I'll be writing War and Peace all over again. Hope that answers some of your questions, Keesha, but if you have any more you can ask it here or as a PM. Best regards. [/QUOTE]
