FW and I were mildly arguing for a very long time…like weeks about something. Could very well have been ceiling fans…
Until one day we were out in the garage and she said…
“You know, you are totally right. But that’s not the way it’s going to be.”
Left me speechless.

On your wedding day say “I do.”
Every day after that say “I sorry!”
Your wives must be lucky ladies. Can you imagine a forum where women talked about how they are never right when it comes to matters with their husbands? It’s been a double standard that’s bugged the crap out of me for a long time. It’s an acceptable notion that the husbands are always wrong and I get this is coming from a joking nature, but still. I’d rather a husband who’s as fully capable of calling me out on my BS as I am him. It has made for some interesting disagreements over the years, but I wouldn’t trade our team approach for anything.
11 years for us with both sets of parents still married and both pushing 50 years. I think we’re in it for the long haul!
To keep a marriage healthy I think you have to realize there are things you can’t change about either one …..and you don’t want to change them anyways. Also, never try to win an argument even if you are right.
24 years last November, it’s not been easy we argue about stupid things but agree on the important stuff, the key is lots of compromise and as my father in-law would say the two most important words a husband needs to learn is to just say “Yes dear!”

11 years. But I spent the first 6 years working on the road so that wasn’t much of a marriage. I’ve spent the last 4 years getting back into the groove.
It’s been 5 for me and the Mrs. In those 5 years we have relocated several states away for a job, had a kid, moved back home, had another kid, lost a parent, had another kid, bought a house, found out we were having another kid…it’s been a crazy 5 years and we argue about a lot of stupid stuff. Sometimes it takes us a while to say sorry, but we always do. I really couldn’t imagine as crazy of a life with anyone but her though!

Must be MN math where 6+4=11…lol.
I’m guessing life at home is way better when you aren’t on the road all the time!

Nope, being married just feels that way sometimes.

First year of marriage I was home, then spent 6 years on the road, been home for 4. Sorry should have added that first year.
Will be 8 years of marriage in June. 13 years as a couple in April.
I lost my best friend Dec 18 2015 and miss her ever day. It was a good 40 years with my wife. Love ya Lynn!!!
I’m sorry to hear that.
Some good advice on marriage.
My wife and I will be celebrating year #2 this spring. High school sweethearts, I guess is what they call us?
15,147 days with a wonderful wife.

Just celebrated our 1 year anniversary in October, little one on the way, hoping for 70 years like my grandparents!
2.5 years for me. now thinking about kids..ready for them, not ready for daycare costs
49 for us in July plus 4 dating before getting married. We agree on religion and politics. She keeps the house and yard looking nice. She can have any yard tool she wants and gets just about anything for the house she wants. The more I’m out of the house fishing or hunting the better we get along. Winter can be tough too cold to fish and garage is unheated. May have to spend some time in the basement sorting tackle. Be nice to each other, don’t hold a grudge, and good luck.
20 years for me this month.
31 years in April. Our two daughters are married to great guys, both of whom ask our permission to propose, which impressed us!
Ann’s endured a lot over the years, strong gal!
I have almost 5 years under my belt. We’ve been together for 12. Waited to put a ring on her until she knew what she was getting into. In all seriousness its been great! We are currently in the process of adopting our niece (8yo) and nephew (7yo). They have been living with us for a little over a year now and what a change that has been. Mostly good change! The only bad is that my fishing time is limited more now, but a sacrifice I’m more than happy to make! They will be getting their first ever ice fishing sleep over in the hard house on The Big Pond Saturday after hockey! 
Little over 4 months, married this last year in August. And I’m still allowed to leave at 4am and come home at 9pm from a day of fishing. I’m willing to take any marriage advice from the guys who are still allowed to fish hahaha.
