Marriage and Family Today (original) (raw)

Where did you meet?: The first time we met was at a dance at my high school. I was 16 he was 21. He came with a mutual friend and we danced together all night. The next time we went to the movies together in a big group of people (my best friend and his best friend liked each other) when we were both engaged to other people. I was 20 he was 25. Then we met again a year later after our best friends finally started dating. I was 21 he was 26. The funniest thing is it took a few days before we realized we had met before.

Were you friends first?: No, not unless you count the 6 years between our first meeting and our last.

How long did you date?: We dated for exactly 1 year before he proposed. We were engaged for 9 months, and we have been married for almost 4 months.

How long have you been married?: just under 4 months. It will be four months on Dec 5th.

When is your anniversary?: Dating anniversary... Oct. 24th 2004 / Married Anniversary August 5th 2006

Was it love at first sight?: Actually yes. I liked him soooo much when we first met when I was 16. He was my first real crush. When we started dating 6 years later we fell in love almost instantly. We knew very early on that we'd be together forever.

Who asked who on the 1st date?: Well...he pursued me, but I think my best friend Kate set up the first date..she asked us both to come shopping with her and her boyfriend. I asked him out after that and then he asked me out on our third date. We started dating officially after that.

How was the 1st kiss?: Earth shattering. We said I love you after our first kiss.

How was the first um, 'meeting of the souls'?: Honorable. I know that might sound weird but it was. I had only had one serious boyfriend before him (my ex fiance). When me and my ex had sex for the first time we were both virgins and I wouldn't say it was rape...but I wasn't ready for it and he didn't ask me if I wanted it and I was too confused and scared to really say no...so long story short I lost my virginity. Being a strong Christian I was told that I then had to marry my ex (then boyfriend) because we had had sex. When he dumped me a few months later I was sure I was going to hell and no man would ever want me again. When me and my husband started dating, he told me he loved me and that he would wait until marriage if that was what i wanted. He made it clear he would never push me into anything and that he wanted to show me that I was very loved and he would never hurt me like my ex had or take advantage of me. It was my decision to make love for the first time and he made sure it was what I really really wanted. I felt very loved.

How long before he said the "L" word?: 1 1/2 weeks? It was right after our first kiss.

Did you wait til your wedding night?: lol...no but our wedding night was still wonderful.

Do you still kiss (Enjoy it?): He can make me almost collapse just from kissing me. My knees give out.

Do you still do the deed?: Yes of course

Do you LOVE your in-laws?: I do. I wish I knew them better.. but in time I know I will.

Does he love yours?: Ummmmm I don't even love my parents...so no! They weren't invited to our wedding and honestly I know he hates them for how they treat me and how much they have hurt me.

What are their names and ages?: This question serves no purpose....

Who has control in this relationship?: We both do....if one person controls...thats not a good marriage.

What does he do that annoys you the most?: He has OCD ...so it's very hard sometimes to deal with his need to have everything a certain way. (ex: "DVDs do not go with X-box games")
