Can you give me a positive and a negative side of marriage ?

Well LOL according to my husband the negative side is that I ask too many silly questions.. like ”Do you love me” or are you in love with me”’ after 20 years of marriage he finds that very strange.., as he isn’t the most romantic kind of person.. he thinks that the positive side of marriage to me is that I am nice enough to stay married to him (which isnt’ always easy let me tell you) and that I am low maintenance and never ask for much.. that I am not a material girl, for that reason he just bought me a very tiny gift for my 46th birthday on Saturday and he knows he can get away with it.

I believe one can be married for a long time and you get to know the other person quite well, but you never get to know your partner really so well that you know everything about him or her and I think it’s good that way.. that leaves room for some imagination.. if we knew really the smallest secret about each other then it might become a bit boring…”so in his strange way after 20 years he loves me. If you think he ever says that, no, he shows it in little things, like when I was ill for 5 months in the summer and until autumn of 2002.. . he was there for me.. and he went with me to all different doctors and forced them to do something.. as I was really in a bad situation then and didn’t believe it would ever get better.. Finally I was put on the right medication which allowed me to have a life again…

Of course he doesn’t know that I told half of the people on Yahoo answers earlier today.. that if he teases me about my weight gain.. that I told that he needs to put three of his upper teeth in a dental container at night.. he had them extracted last weekend and since then his upper front teeth are missing 3 of them.. so that keeps him from saying stuff about my weight… as he has to take them out every night.. put them in water.. That happened because he always used to open all the beer bottles with his teeth when he was younger.. He is 50. I do love him. He drives me mad as well sometimes but we have mastered some storms in 20 years of marriage and we have known each other for 23 years now.. and we are of two different nationalities.. that always works well, he is British so I get to understand the sarcastic British humour and know it’s not crude really just a different sense of humor and I have to thank my husband for my knowledge of the English language as we speak English exclusively..Through him I got to travel, see a lot of European places.. we got to live in the Netherlands.,.and now have been living in Canada for the past 8 years…

So in his words…when he once wanted to tell his mom that the hairdresser had done a great job on my hair.. he said.. to her on the phone.. ”Vera doesn’t look that bad at all” in his world that means ”She looks fantastic” so to match his manner of talking ” He isn’t such an awful old bean at all he could have been a lot worse.. a bluebeard or something..” meaning I love him” that’s how he would say he loves me.. be saying I’m nice”

Shock when the honeymoon is over.. the 4 letter words start
____________________________________________
A young couple got married and went on a cruise for their honeymoon. When they got back from the honeymoon, the bride immediately called her mother, who lived a couple of hours away.

“Well, darling,” said her mom, “How was the honeymoon?”

“Oh, Mother,” she replied, “The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic; we had a terrific time! But, Mother, as soon as we returned, Sam began using really horrible language. Stuff I’d never heard before. Really terrible four-letter words. You’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please Mother!” And the new bride began to sob over the telephone.

“But honey,” the mother countered, “what four-letter words?”
“I can’t tell you, Mother,” said the daughter, “They’re too awful! Come get me, please!!!”

“Darling daughter, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell mother the four-letter words!”

Still sobbing, the bride said, “Mother, words like dust, wash, iron, cook!!!”
