Not just because we were older and (arguably) more mature, but because we each had the chance to experience other relationships and know what we wanted and needed in a marriage. Invaluable -- both the good and not-so-good past relationships. <br /><br />Great post!Brutalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659884369597107148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-19725928086930909052009-08-13T09:27:53.594-06:002009-08-13T09:27:53.594-06:00ZenMom- My alone is time is shortned now b/c of Da...ZenMom- My alone is time is shortned now b/c of Darling Daughter, but at least I don't feel like I can't do anything without my hubby to hold my hand.Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-68330145074823444482009-08-12T16:13:14.449-06:002009-08-12T16:13:14.449-06:00Trooper Thorn: So true!

I love that I can talk with my good guy friends about just about anything. :) As for your friend from university - I'd say she's pretty insightful. :)<br /><br />Steph: It can take a while to figure out what "works" for you, even after you find the right person, can't it? Hmmm. Alone time? I vaguely remember that. ;)<br /><br />Sage, darlin: We can't *all* find the right bad boy - you keep reminding us there's only one of you to go around.OneZenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764231117789511983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-74415067196981434092009-08-12T12:53:32.313-06:002009-08-12T12:53:32.313-06:00It has become abundantly apparent that at least tw...It has become abundantly apparent that at least two of you never found the right bad boy.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-18915904476630243022009-08-12T12:21:37.086-06:002009-08-12T12:21:37.086-06:00Love the post!!

We celebrated 8 years yesterday, although not together as he travels for work alot. <br /><br />I think that's the biggest lesson that I learned- is that you don't have to be together 24/7 to be a good couple. It's okay not to be with someone all the time and to like alone time.Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-22980101178493706422009-08-12T11:31:07.279-06:002009-08-12T11:31:07.279-06:00Great post.

(I was not the person I am today, sort of.) One night someone asked her to sum me up in one word. Her response?

Personally, I'm such a slow learner, I had to go through quite a few of those bad boys before I finally smartened up! :)<br /><br />Danielle: Thanks! That's the benefit of advanced years, I guess: You get that "mature" outlook on things. Plus, you get to tell people to "get offa my lawn". ;)OneZenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764231117789511983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-45886754789613756192009-08-12T08:38:23.253-06:002009-08-12T08:38:23.253-06:00Wow, Very great observation on past relationships ...Wow, Very great observation on past relationships and such a mature way to handle them.<br />I too LOVED this post!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587186690785139860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-58248118017531635812009-08-12T08:26:08.112-06:002009-08-12T08:26:08.112-06:00I learned that its no use getting jealous over thi...I learned that its no use getting jealous over things because it can drive you absolutely insane!!!
