re: How long have you been married?

35 years married; 41 together.

There is an old axiom that, in a relationship, the person who cares the least has the most power. Most women want sex; they just want it less than their man. This gives them the power. When I was 18 some instinct told me to hold the line on that, and I made sure she did as much asking as I did. It stayed that way for 40 years and counting.
