DISQUS

"Your Family and Friends Like Him" -- It's funny, because my boyfriend and I kid each other about this all the time. My family loves him (a nice Jewish boy who helps my mom around the house and shares a taste in Scotch with my dad), and his family loves me (a nice Jewish girl who comes over to bake with his mom and laughs at his dad's stories). We joke that obviously we're doing something wrong, and we'll have to start rebelling right away!

Amen! Love your insight. I've been married a whole 4 months, but have no doubt that my husband will be The One forever. Why? Because:

* we have the same foundation. This means our values and priorities are similar - we both value family above all else, but also hold our artistic endeavors and our friendships with high regard

* our "timing" was right. We found each other when we were both about a year out of long-term, live-in relationships without a "serious" relationship in between. I think we were both equally cautious about starting something serious again, while also both wanting a lasting relationship.

* we treat each other with respect. There was a time when I was uncomfortable with the fact that my husband & I have never had a fight (we're going to be together 3 years next month), but that didn't last for long. If a relationship feels like a struggle or a battle every day, it's not The One for you.

* his friends & my friends have become Our Friends, and the same goes for our families. You're right on the money with this one!

* you respect your time together & you respect your time apart. This might boil down to trust, but I'm wary of couples that do EVERYTHING together as well as those that do NOTHING together. My hubby and I respect each other's Girls Nights Out and Boys Nights Out, but always include each other in every other social occasion.

So, that's it! Easy right? :)
