What a thrilling question. I've been married three times... engaged a couple that I never married. And now single. I can only say I'm have no clue why I picked the men I did. I know that I didn't pick them for the right reasons or pick the right men. Guess I have no real answer for this. I do know one thing, do NOT get married when you are drunk (if you weren't engaged to begin with!) It won't work LOL.

how do i get in the journal jar?
I can't answer this question. I'm not married, and I currently don't have a significant other! lol Colleen :)
The first 2 times Dickidoo proposed to me he was drunk. The 3rd time was right after I informed him that I was 'late'. I turned him down all 3 times because I was not convinced that he was proposing for the right reasons. It wasn't until his best friend proposed for him and went on an hour long speech on how devoted Steve was, how distracted he was because of his love, how changed he was for the good because of me, and on and on and on. And suddenly everything felt right so I said yes. There have been a few times when I've found myself wanting out of the relationship, especially last year, but there have never been any regrets.
Well actually it is weird with my husband and I. We have known each other since high school, became "involved" our last year in high school because well to put it bluntly, he looked like he could be ALOT of fun, lol. Anyway, I had a boyfriend, he a girlfriend but we decided to met up one weekend and just hang out and see where it took us. Well of course I was "smitten" after that, dumped the boyfriend and waited on Beau, lol. I think what convinced me the most was a "joke" that turned out to be a prediction of sorts. Me, Beau and another friend of mine were all sitting around talking when she decided that "He is going to take me to prom", my response to that was "That's fine, he is going to marry me some day", lol be careful what ya wish for, ha. Of course I wouldn't have it any other way, he is my air. He is beyond loyal and will defend me to the end even when he knows (and I know as well) that I am wrong and he loves his babies and helps equally with them, can't ask for more than that. Beau doesn't do things halfway, he is either all or none so I knew if he wanted to be with me, it was me to the end and that is what convinced me. Now what got into him to want to chose me is beyond me, lol.
I like this question. I used to believe in the whole Jerry McGuire line "you complete me", but after being with my guy for three years I've realized that true love isn't about another person completing who you are, its about someone who allows you to be a better person, and to be yourself. You need to love yourself before you can truely love someone else. My boy brings that out in me.
Yea! I am now officially caught up!!!
I took time to get to know who he was and for once was not impulsive...
I`LL CURRENTLY PLEAD THE 5TH ON THIS ONE HEHE!!
He's 6'4". I'm 5'2". He's the baby of the family. I'm the eldest child in mine. He's the eternal optomist. I'm the world's biggest worry-wart. We're both stubborn! People at our wedding were making bets as to how long the marriage would last.
We were too young, too impulsive, hot-headed, and we didn't have a dime. So what convinced me? His smile. His sense of humor. His eyes. I love to see him smile and he loves to hear me laugh. We've been married 35 years.
A teenager recently said to him, "Wow, being married for 35 years to the same woman is a long time." He said, "It would have been longer without her."
He still takes my breath away.....
i loved that he could make me laugh and his funny side seemed a good balance to my serious nature.... subconsciously i thought i could change him, save him from all the terrible things that happened to him as a child- oh god, that has not turned out well. but he still is and always will be my friend and i will always love him- just not sure if that will be from the same residence. time will tell........
I married the man I had a crush on in high school. We met up 4 years ago through one of his ex's. I still had the same feelings for him. He's such a great man. He's got an awesome sence of humor, he's honest and I can trust him. The trust part is sooo awesome for me. I never had this kind of trust for a person.

Wow...this was a double edged sword for me...read on...
When I met my wife, I had just ended a 6 year stint playing in a band and living the life style of a drug addicted, drunken, sex craved musician. My life was totally out of control and I was very lost. My wife was very in control and down to earth.
I needed that in my life. But twenty years later, now that I have grown up and got my act together, I find her controlling nature drives me INSANE. Unfortunately she is not willing to give up the role of trying to be my "MOMMY". I dont see this lasting another year. I need to be with someone who isnt wanting to change me,
but accept me the way I am.
I had a hunch. It worked.
