If it has a lockable door, poor cell reception and has a fully stocked bar, even better.
oooh.. that's bad! LOL
Beautiful!My husband and I talk about everything, as soon as it comes up. We never let anything sit and fester, and it's pretty much a rule for both of us. And once a conversation is done, it's done. We solve our problem and move on with our lives.
When it comes to our past, we've told each other almost everything. There are some things I haven't told him, but they don't matter anymore. Those things are in the past, they're dead, and why burden my husband unnecessarily? But as far as our present goes, we have no secrets from each other. Unless it's of the "I'm not telling you what I got you for Christmas" variety.
We're 100% honest with each other. We will not lie, about anything. That may not work for everyone, but it's crucial for me. I take honesty very seriously, and I've dropped friends and a previous husband for lying to me. So, no lies. Ever.
We take fidelity very seriously as well. Again, this is a deep, real need of mine that my husband respects, and he has chosen to live by the same code I do. Which means being faithful mind, body, and spirit. Porn is banned in this house, we don't fantasize about anyone but each other, (honesty again) we don't flirt with other people, and strip clubs are verboten. I know it's strict, I know others would say we have no fun, but we're actually a couple of freaks. We're discovering things about each other we never would have guessed, and we grow closer every day.
We say what we mean. There are no word games between us. We are completely forthright with each other, and because of this, my husband knew exactly what he was getting himself into before he ever proposed to me. It's the only way I can feel ok with all the crazy things I need from a spouse; he knows how I am, and chooses to be with me and be who I need of his own free will. And vice versa.
We accept and respect each other. That's probably the biggest key to why our marriage works as well as it does. We can be ourselves with each other and we don't have to be afraid of being ridiculed. As similar as we are, we are also vastly different people. And that is perfectly ok.
We both take responsibility for our house, our son, and our life. We share the load, so to speak, equally.
And we have fun. Whether it's watching TV or going for a drive or whatever, we enjoy each other's company. He's gone so much at work, it's really special when we can just kick back and enjoy each other as a couple and as a family.
Now let's hope this all lasts for the next fifty years or so!
