Get Pregnant Fast

Relationships can be a wild ride, can’t they? After 21 years of knowing my husband and celebrating 17 years of marriage this September, I can attest that a strong marriage is about so much more than just romance. Sure, those initial sparks were magical, but over the years, my perspective has evolved. It’s no longer just about candlelit dinners or surprise gifts; it’s about teamwork, shared responsibilities, and the little things that show you truly understand each other.

So, if you’re curious about the signs that your marriage might just be built to last, here are 25 indicators you can look for:

1. You wouldn’t dream of binge-watching your favorite series without him and feel guilty if you do.
2. He surprises you with a hot cup of coffee after his morning errands—complete with your favorite amount of sugar.
3. You find comfort in the warmth of his feet as they brush against yours in bed.
4. He knows the moment he walks through the door, you might need a break, and he’s completely okay with it.
5. Financial discussions are no longer awkward; you both trust each other enough to spend freely.
6. You’ve come to terms with the fact that he will never load the dishwasher properly.
7. He’s accepted that taking out the trash is not in your skill set.
8. He’s learned that cozy flannel pajamas are a better gift than any piece of lingerie.
9. Just watching him do chores gives you butterflies.
10. When he tells the kids “Mom already said no,” you know he’s got your back.
11. You’ve shared some pretty intimate moments that would leave most people blushing.
12. He lovingly caresses your post-baby body, still seeing the woman he fell in love with.
13. You’ve both been through some awkward moments and still find each other irresistible.
14. You’ve learned to ignore the eye roll when another pair of shoes joins your collection, just as he grins when new car parts show up.
15. Your shared love for ’80s music is a staple in your home.
16. He knows exactly what to order for you, even when you’re not there.
17. He always requests your wedding song at events, leading you to dance with a smile.
18. You trust him enough to admit when you’re wrong, and he keeps it to himself.
19. He respects your playful threat about leaving him for a rock star.
20. You both know when to give each other constructive criticism about haircuts and outfits.
21. You’ve stood by him through fitness fads and the reality of weight fluctuations.
22. A mere glance across the room can communicate volumes about how much fun you’re not having at social gatherings.
23. You’ve both endured your child’s performances, agreeing on their less-than-stellar skills.
24. Date nights now look like a quick drink after errands, and you cherish those moments together.
25. You both realize that no one else would tolerate your quirks quite like each other.

Marriage is challenging, especially amidst the chaos of parenting and daily life, but if you take a moment to reflect, you’ll see that the love you share is resilient. Those blue eyes across the dinner table are a reminder of the bond that endures, even if it means cleaning up after sick kids at 2 a.m.
