I'm sure someone more important said this some time before:
But: if you can drive for 1 hour without a word spoken between the two individuals That is what you call comfort!

We have done that usually she is sleeping.

 

[fiver]

she doesn't make it an hour in the truck unless we are on a dirt road.

The addiction to PB is not an easy one to understand! But I think we all have pulled it off rather well thanks to our ladies!

[Brad]

Different kind Rick but something to celebrate none the less.

 

[Hawk]

Congrats! We celebrated 43 last May.

It's amazing that she put up with me for so long.

It doesn't seem possible, but each year we seem to continue to get more comfortable with each other.

I think age has made us appreciate each other more. We don't have the "power struggles" over who's the boss, that so many young people seem to have.

That, and like Roger Rabbit, she says I make her laugh!

Power struggles"? Ironically, Mrs. smokeywolf is the only one of my three wives that I've felt perfectly comfortable deferring decisions to. Yet, she despises making decisions and is completely happy with me making all the decisions. I suspect part of the reason she feels this way is, she knows that I won't make a decision that has even the slightest effect on the family without getting input from her.

I've been married 9 years. Doesn't seem like many compared to you guys. But I'm only 31 and hope for many more good years to come.

Just keep plugging away.....marriage is a work in progress. You can get mad......just don't stay mad.

 

[KHornet]

Good basic advice Winelover! Mad usually accomplishes little.

In 39 years our longest nontalking fight lasted 24 hours...Usually on average 30 minutes every 6 months or so.
That's how I know I married the right little lady

 

[smokeywolf]

Mrs. smokeywolf and I are pretty much the same. Married 19 years, together nearly 21. In all that time, we've had 5 or 6 arguments where we stopped talking for anywhere from a couple of hours to as much as one day. Half those arguments were about me calling on her to be more supportive of me disciplining the kids. My job to be the bad guy. That got fixed about a year ago when I told her, for the next several months she would have to dole out the discipline and if she failed to do it and follow through, it could screw up the boys for life and they could in turn screw up their kids. That worked. She did a very good job and found out how hard it is to be the "mean parent" The boys found out that she could and would hand out the discipline. It was a good lesson for all.
The boys are teenagers and I expect them to act out. The usual rebelliousness is allowed as long as it does not edge into disrespect. Resistance is tolerated as long as it doesn't become out & out disobedience.

Sorry for the thread drift.
