Thank you all for your good wishes. I have indeed been fortunate to have such a special man in my life. Although I appreciate your wishes for another 31 years, I'm not sure I want to spend another 31 years with him though.

I was wondering, dear Linda, if he knows that he´s Identify here on TCS as "BRUCE"..
Just curiousity...!.
Congrats on such a wonderful milestone. It does sound like your are one of the lucky ones that really did find their soulmate for life. Best Wishes as well for many more happy and healthy years together.

Yes Rigel - I told him when it first happened. Naturally he doesn't think he looks at all like Bruce and I think he looks better.Originally Posted by CoolCat
Oh my!....... let "Bruce" heard this!.......

I'm still enjoying Pedro Infanti.
I´m so sure, Pedro Infante sang the "Las mañananitas" to you, that day, on his record my friend!..

Linda! Happy Anniversary! Sorry I missed this thread until now.
To what do you attribute such a long, happy marriage? I mean other than hubby's good looks.

Seriously, I have a few things I think contribute to a long and happy marriage:
1. Neither of us ever says anything in anger that cannot be taken back, i.e., even if he is really upset or mad about something, he will say, "Honey, I can't talk about it right now, I need to calm down". Neither of us has ever sworn at or called the other one a nasty name in 32 years.
2. Never take each other for granted. I've been cooking for him for 32 years (and I mean cooking since I don't used prepared or processed foods and make everything from scratch), yet it is rare for him to sit down to a meal and not say thank you for making a nice dinner even after all these years. In return I always thank him for fixing things on my car and doing any little errands for me. I always let him know he's appreciated.
3. If you have a difference of opinion and it isn't earth-shatteringly important, agree to disagree. It isn't necessary to be "right" and it's OK to feel differently about something even though you are a couple. Hubby does like to argue until he can get me to agree with him sometimes. I just listen and nod and at the end of his speil I tell him I appreciate that he feels differently than I do about the situation, but as long as nobody gets hurt or dies, it's not worth fighting/arguing about.
Those will at least get you off to a good start.
Great advice!Originally Posted by Yosemite

#3 sounds like something Dr. Phil says. "You want to be right or you want to be happy?"
