Congrats on figuring out what works for your relationship! We're the only ones that know our boundaries, both individually and within the relationship, to know what will make it work. Knowing that is really half the battle. (married 20+ years)
Much to consider here, Suzanne. I feel stupid-lucky that the man I met and married in a hurry when I was just shy of 30 years old, is the person I'm still with 33 years later. Not that we haven't worked at it, as you say, but we really didn't know each other well before diving in. Could have easily been a disaster!

I met my (perfect) husband as a 30 yr old single mom. It was nice to start out with a kid - we didn’t have to reconfigure our relationship once we had kids and I already had a sense of him as a dad. May both of us have many blissful years ahead of us ❤️
This is such a good point that I've never considered (not having to reconfigure your relationship). My mom was a single mom and I always viewed her relationships with men as being more difficult to navigate simply because she had us. But maybe not! Thanks for that!
After 22 years of marriage, I often say that my husband and I are perfect for each other while we are individually far from perfect. We were kids when we met and still kids when we got married, but we've grown up together. I can't imagine our lives without each other.

Absolutely! At least when we know we can make a conscious choice 🙂
