I knew I was in love with him after just a few weeks of dating. I knew he was the one pretty much the same day I fell totally in love with him. We started dating at Thanksgiving and were talking marriage by Valentine's Day. That was 7 years ago, we're married 6 years, and I still feel the same way about him.

The way I look at it is this: No matter what goes on (life sure does have its share of trials, and it tests marriages pretty hard) at the end of the day, do you go to bed thinking you can't imagine life without him? Even when I'm furious with my husband, I still can't imagine not having him here with me. I realize I'm furious with the situation, not him, and it gets me by the hard stuff. I never dated anyone where I felt that way before. I always felt like they lacked something I needed, or they didn't understand me.
