A little about me and my new family: I'm 34 and my husband is 23. Yes, we're that couple. Demi and Ashton, Nick and Mariah, etc. We met through an online dating site and had our first date two weeks after. A year and two months later, we married. In the time between our first date and our marriage, we broke up, dated other people, moved apart, became best friends and fell in love. I have a daughter from a previous 14 year relationship. His longest relationship was a little over two years. My parents have been married for over 36 years and I am the oldest of their children. His parents are divorced and he is an only child. He's in the Navy as a hull tech, I'm an accountant. I'm from California, he's from Tennessee. I'm still in California and he'll be stationed in Washington until 2013.
With all this material, I should have enough to fill a book with perhaps. So what makes us so great together that we should join in holy matrimony 'til death do us part? We just fit. We fall in together like butter and toast. I love him because he doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. He says he wants to travel the world or just go out for a drive, he does it. He loves what he does and when he's not happy, he tries to find ways to make it better. You have no idea how incredibly sexy that is. He has hobbies and he's really passionate about them. He doesn't mind that I'm not the best cook. He knows that I have other redeemable qualities such as being the one to do laundry, the yard, overall cleaning, travel arrangements, and other daily tasks. We're cheerleaders for our team and think we're an amazing couple.
But the BEST thing about us other than sex, (No lies. While the sex is great, a great marriage it will not make alone) is that we communicate really well. He understands my need to vent and talk out a situation. He does not get angry and storm off because I disagree with him. I won't push him immediately for answers if it's not time-sensitive. Through trial and error, we do not argue over text or any form of written communication. My need to be blunt and to the point and his not knowing what to say right away do not do well in that form. Those styles have a tendency to come across as either hostile or uncaring if read incorrectly. We get that in ways that our exes never did and I LOVE IT!
