Not Another Marriage Thread

Question(s) for y'all... despite the usual banter about not being able to load a dishwasher... who here feels like they married their best friend? Or having been married for a bit, became best friends?
If you found yourself stranded on a deserted island- would you rather be alone, with your spouse or with a different person?

I got lucky.
She’s more beautiful than I am handsome.
She’s a great mother to our kids.
She’s smart.
I’d beg to have her on an island over anyone else.

I had mentioned in another thread earlier but been married for 31 years. Hasn’t always been rosey and there were some tough years. I made mistakes and she made mistakes. That’s marriage. If you married the right person for the right reasons then you can work thru those things. Our children are now grown, married, and have children of their own. Some marriages struggle with being empty nesters because they were really just together because of the kids. No real foundation to the marriage itself. We have thrived since becoming empty nesters and have grown even closer.
This is advice I gave my son and have given to other young men. That feeling you have when you find the “One” is not love. It’s infatuation. It’s being horny. Real actual love is something that develops over time, thru shared experiences, overcoming mistakes, shared victories, and hard work. Don’t marry for looks. Don’t marry for money. Find the least crazy woman, that shares your faith, shares your values, shares your political views, shared interests. Thats who you marry. Then learn how to communicate.

Oh yeah. She fine af and can be crazy sometimes but otherwise we just love hanging out talking and laughing. Plus much sexual stuff if you know what I mean.

Married best friend.
We don’t always act like it. She ain’t perfect like me (kidding!!).
Blessed to have friendship and great life teammate.

I'm not selfish enough to want my wife to be stuck in a situation like that.

I did. There's no one else I'd rather be with on a desert island. 39 years and can't imagine being without him.

You couldn't survive without him. That's not an insult, you recognize (probably) that you need him for something, which makes him feel super valued. Which makes him love you more, because you appreciate him for what he does, not what he doesn't do the way you do.

Married couples are friends 99% of the time that they spend together, especially when the kids get out of the house. So it's pretty damn important to be able to be friends

Solid advice.
I agree that love, the lasting kind, takes time and experience.

That's something to look forward to! We have one down and one to go and I don't foresee us having empty nester issues either- hopefully our son will give us an opportunity to test out that theory!
