Hello stacy624! Wow! Your story only means that you're really meant for each other. That's how I call it. My husband and I have been together for almost for years. This coming August would be our first year anniversary of marriage but we've been dating since I was 18 years old and last year we got married.

I have been with my guy for 3 years now, and I think our relationship keeps going stronger. I think it helps that he is 9 years older than me. He is very patient with my quirks and imperfections that's why we are still getting along well. Honestly, I think he loves me more than I love him, but I'm trying my best to keep up.

ive been with him for more than 5 years now, we will be 6 in August this year. i love him *period i have lots of guys friend, some of them had a crush on me..but i never felt right like the way i feel for him. no matter how he is, i love him for his imperfection. i love his goodness and weakness, coz that's the way he is. i love him for him. and he is the only person who can accept me for who i am so far, and he is my main motivation else than my family, to be a better person in this life. he always supported for all the good things i want to decided in my life, including works. but he always keep an eye on me, so i wont get hurt or at least he will be there for me whenever i needed him. n yes, he did. our love is not perfect, lots of dramas, happiness and sadness..but that's how our life is, and it wont be perfect without him in my life. he is my perfectioness in my imperfectioness.

I've been with my husband for going on 10 years... wow how time flies. We have two children, a boy who's 6, and little girl who's 17 months. We have a great relationship and will grow old together and still give each other heck just because that's the way we are... We like to joke and poke fun at each other, makes the days so much eaiser, when you have humor and lots of laughs in your marriage.

It will be 8 years of marriage this year - we've had our fair share of rough patches but my life has been so much happier since I met my husband 10 years ago.

My husband and I have been married 20 years and we dated for about 3 years before that. We met in college when we were Chemistry lab partners. Haha, we say there has been Chemistry from the start. We have one son.

Hi stacy. I have been with my bf for less than a year and we are planning to buy a house together, heehee, which means we are getting married when the house is set. I brought home to meet my parents during the Spring Festival, the most important holiday here in our country and it's great. He is a man with strong will and that's what I appreciate most, heehee, also that's the reason he finally gets me. Well, stacy and Mike, that's a great couple! Good you have a happy ending with Mike and have a wonderful wedding day when it comes:D

I have been with my husband now for 12 years. We met through a friend of mine. The night that I met him he had asked me to marry him. Of course that night I had said no. But 2 years later we got married. He had 5 kids from previous relationships and I had one. Since we have been together we have had two beautiful kids together.

I have been with the girl I love for more that a year and I hope we can be together forever, it is really amazing to know that you and your partner have been together for nine years with the kind of relationships that are present and the ethics that many partners have in the relationship. I wish you best of luck for your future and do share with all mylotters about what was special or at least different about your Valentines day. Best of luck for your future, stacy624.

I met my husband when I started working for him, I didn't like him much as a boss ! After I got to know him he was a lovely person. He had recently split up from his first wife and they had a one year old son, we have been together now for 17 years and have three more children. I am thankful everyday that I took that job because I almost didn't otherwise my life would be so different.

We've been married for 5 years now, I guess the key for a successful marriage is trust.

I've been together with my husband for the past 17 years and married to him for the past 14 years. We have 2 kids together, both of them boys. My husband wants us to have at least one more child. He is hoping for a daughter this time around. I have (reluctantly) agreed to try, though we haven't been successful in conceiving since my last pregnancy back in 2005 which resulted in a miscarriage, unfortunately. We shall see what happens.

I have been with my love almost 14 years. Married 7 of those. Met him through my ex. Love him to pieces. 2 kids. 5 year old daughter. And a 2 month old son. And we can still stand one another even through sleep deprivation!

My hubby and I have been together for 30 years. =) We have 4 beautiful children, and 2 sets of beautiful twin grands. =) I fell in love with my hubby over a bag of "Red Hot Riplets" potato chips ... LOL. Back then, they were the best bbq potato chips I'd ever eaten. On a beautiful summer day, my hubby (boyfriend then) walked several blocks just to bring me those red hot riplets that he knew I loved. Now to me ... that was L-O-V-E! Unfortunately, red hot riplets are no longer available. They stopped making them probably about 20 years or so ago.

Hello There! That is a nice story to tell. Well, I haven't been that long with my boyfriend but we are dating for almost three years now. I met him in my previous work. We were colleagues, started as friends, both single that time then became partners. Right now, he is far away from me but we are already planning for our future and hopefully be able to start family of our own someday. I would love to have kids in the future too.. You are very lucky to have a husband that loves you very much and kids to take care of. Good luck! Thank you for the discussion. Happy Mylotting. Have a great day! Cheers!
