Happy wife, happy life is a sign I have on my kitchen wall. My hubby does not care what I buy. I keep my mouth shut about his purchases which are triple the cost of a bag purchase. He likes his "toys" and so do I.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is not into all the social media. I have a FB account but don't use it much. I don't Twitter, Instagram, or any of that other stuff. I'm very private myself & can't see posting every time I go to the bathroom. I mainly use FB to keep in touch with friends & family who are overseas.

The best use I have for social media, is advertising for our motorcycle events. Otherwise, I agree that all this posting what you have for lunch and every time you go to the bathroom, is ridiculous! lol! WHO CARES?? I have reconnected with many lost friends and family members though, and it is nice to see pics of them and their families. I have folks in almost every state, so I like how it keeps us connected. But I only check it maybe twice a week.

They should add it at the end of marriage vowels! Along with key points on communicating with each other. I have seen so many marriages fail because they simply refuse to communicate. Its sad. I say how I'm feeling, whether good or bad. Men are not mind readers. My parents have been married 45 years and that was the best piece of advice, say what your feeling or you will walk around with hurt feelings and he's probably clueless as to why. It causes a lot of problems and eventually divorce.

Amen to that, Sistah! I'm the same way. DH & I make a concerted effort to communicate & talk. We never go to bed angry with each other. Because of that, we don't fight. Sometimes, when I get mad about something & he asks what's wrong, I tell him I'm not angry with him, I'm angry with myself. One thing he understands is that when I get angry with myself about something, I don't want him to fix it, just listen. He's a good listener. When he's mad about something at work or whatever, he will talk to me about it & I listen. We make our decisions together. He doesn't really care what I buy as long as we can afford it & I don't care what he buys for the same reason. He has his toys & I have mine. Everyone who knows us says were the male/female version of the same person. LOL In fact, the first thing my sister said after she met him was "OMG! She's found the male version of herself!" LOL

We go about it the exact same way. Big decisions made together, whether its the kids, financial, whatever. If we don't both agree, its a no go. He checks with me first, he calls me the BOSS...LOL! Believe me I'm no boss. Just the voice of reason. I love him in the most rediculous way!! God first, marriage 2nd, everything else will fall into place. Is it perfect 100%? Nope, but we always work things out by communicating with each other.

WOW!! We are alike in this respect. We discuss everything. 99% of the time, we agree. Occasionally, he makes a decision I don't particularly like but I support him in his decision if it's something he's really passionate about. Like when he went to Afghanistan....I didn't like the decision but I knew if he didn't go, he would regret it. We put God first, marriage second, kids third, & everything else falls into place. Ours isn't perfect, nope. Marriage takes work, a lot of it but we always work through the tough times together & things always work out in the end.:smile1:
