Then it starts all over. Kids (I have 3) just add to the time I wish I was asleep.
habanohal Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Their is no science to it. I would half to say how expensive the gift you give her is. 2 kids, ( 14 yr girl, 7 yr boy) So it gets hecktic.

SuperT Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I'm now 30 and have been married for 5.5 years (oh my GOD!). I have a 8 month old son that I have to admit is likely the cutest kid in the world! If it wasn't for him, who knows how long this could last (as I'm a pretty good catch and the wimmin' are swimmin'! ;-) ), but I have to say - I can't see myself leaving my woman. Can't help ya, sorry!
sleeper Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 From my experience, I would say that the post-nuptial glow lasts the first six months or so. The next 18 months or so are the hardest, IMO, as the glow is waning and you are really finding out things about each other, with either compromise(hopefully) or disagreement(ok if you agree to disagree) the endpoint. I also think all of these factors can are influenced by length of premaritla co-existence, if any. Also, age at marriage(timeframe to develop a way that is uniquely yours, good or bad) also affects the course. I think a lengthier bachelorhood can make change and compromise harder, or atleast that is my experience, anecdotal and otherwise. Disclaimer: All timeframes and bliss can be promptly interrupted by pregnancy and the resulting hormonal overload. My children are the best things in my life, but they certainly shake ones life up more than can be imagined.

Getting kids through the teen years gave me grey hair.:-(
El Presidente Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 I think you have missed my point (...never hard). You have been married a looooooong while. How long is your longest "Golden Patch" ie all sweet....no arguments....homelife as good as it gets. I am into the 3 week stage....unchartered waters for me How long do I have.
habanohal Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Well, seriously, It was actually 2 onths ago when we went to the DR on vacation. 7 Days of pure bliss. She thought they put something in the food, for she couldnt control herself I didnt mind at all. MOrning , noon, nightr , and all inbetween was pure sexual bliss. Now right after we got back, it all the sudden dissapeared. WTF !!! I said. You cant do that to a guy!!!!! BAck to normal life............. " this is my side of the bed"........."Your kids are acting up again" ...... The good ole days were great but they lasted the 1st 2 years of my so far 16 year relationship, will be 13 yrs marrige this may.

1f1fan Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 El Prez, My wife and I have only been married a short while (2 years next month) but we do have a 7 month old...yeah we didn't waste much time. I think we had our honeymoon phase before the marriage, nothing effects a woman's sex drive like diamonds and wedding cake! And once the kids arrive forget about it..... 2-3 weeks of calm waters is about average, something always seems to come up (usually trivial, twice "major" arguments) If you are on 3 weeks count your blessings, buy her flowers and tell her how much you love her. One piece of advice I got from the ladies at work is - NEVER buy her flowers while she is mad at you....surprising a woman with flowers for no good reason will give you points. Best of luck!
Colt45 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 » I am into the 3 week stage....unchartered waters for me Are the couple of weeks you were in Havana part of this three week phase? What's the pool boy's name again?................ oxymoron : noun- a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. example: marital bliss
Mel Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 » Basically… depends on the woman hormone cycles Spot on answer for me. Three weeks then the PMS starts and there is no bliss. My wife is starting to begin menopause. I'm afraid I'm going to hit the tough times. Remember the phrase for better or for worse? I think I've had my better and now the worse.

But she's a pretty saucy wench, so I enjoy a little fight with her once and a while. The make up is always awesome! :-D

I have to say the first five were the best. Then we had kids, I love 'em, don't misunderstand me, but the priorities in a marriage change with their arrival. It really becomes a lot more work to maintain the intimacy you shared before them. Having regular date nights is mandatory and very difficukt to arrange sometimes. And, at least in my case, the dad's needs are absolutely last on the list of priorities.

Yup, these damn things take up a bunch of my time, I make sure they sleep well at night, I coddle them, change their diapers ie. take the bands off, and spend all my money on them. Yes, I hear it from the wifey. We hardly ever fight much, but when we do, I just take the "kids" out to the porch and hang there. Been about 4 weeks since in the dog house, but I actually dont view it as a bad thing. I end up gettin some peace n quiet.:cool:
