When did you know you had found the person you wanted to marry?

[ACMESkydiver 0]

He said when he opened the door and saw me for the first time on our blind date. He said he knew I was the one he was going to marry.

I took a while longer, however. I am much more sane and cautious about these things. It took me a week and a half. That was eleven years ago!

When I gave up and submitted to her stalking me from state to state...

Actually, that's what really happened. Ah, so romantic when I here it put that way...

The first night I met Morgan I fell in love. The second night I saw her (the next night) I knew I was going to marry her. We're getting married Oct 7th.

So I guess sometimes it actually is that storybook simple.

Congrats! Yes... sometimes it is that storybook simple. And you are very lucky.... only very few are really fortunate enough to find that perfect someone where it is that simple. Most of the population that gets married is just willing to settle... and that's O.K. sometimes. Not for me though...

The moment I met him I knew this was different. I was running away from him for 3 months then I didn't see him for 2 weeks and went crazy and realized i wanted to be with him. 1 month later we got engaged, 8 months later we got married. It was the PERFECT relationship, the perfect marriage.

Well I'm not married but know the feeling cause I gone f*ed up

It's hard to explain really, my advice, talk to your family if you're close to them, especially your parents. My father gave me some advice, said that marriage is only 10% attractiveness, the other 90% is pure hard work. He also said the 3 most important things to keep control of (i.e. don't let it get between you relationship) sex, money and religion.

He's happily divorced and I'm happy my parents split up, he's made a lot of himself, would have never been able to if my parents hadn't divorced.

I can't remember the first time I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but I think the first time I knew that she felt the same way was when I got horrendously sick and she had to drive me to a military hospital over an hour away. By the time we got there, I was barely able to breathe, drooling all over myself, and basically just a disgusting mess. She stayed with me the whole time, and even convinced the nurses to let her sleep in the room with me (visitors were not allowed, especially civilians).

That incident convinced me that I had made the right choice in deciding to propose to her (I'd already bought the ring, but hadn't given it to her yet).

i knew the moment i married her. it was confirmed a few weeks later when i left the room to fart not knowing she was following me. she caught a mouthful of vicious ass wind and didn't run away.

Marriage is probably the single hardest thing you will ever have to do.

You'll both change. It comes with growing older. Each of you will have to incorporate that change into your love for the other -- because loving the other person the way they are is good. You also can't expect it to be automatic. If you're a lousy mindreader (most of us are), how can you expect your partner to be a better one? Just pretend they're pleasantly clueless, and give them specific instructions for NOW, not for 6 months from now.

And respect them. If it's hard to do, then you're probably not loving them the way they are. Find something to respect that's core.

Well, at least that's what I think.

All I know is that it took less than a year to know she was the one.
We met when she was 15, started dating when she was 16, got engaged when she was 17, married when she was 18, first child when she was 19.
Started jumping the year we got married. Jumping was inconsistant (300+ jumps) but marriage was very consistant. Four kids, 3 grandkids and 31 years later the marriage and jumping are still great.

About two seconds after I met her.
Unfortunately, it's unrequited (sp?) love. She live in NJ, I live in PA.
It must be great when it works out. I'm not so fortunate.

I had to really think about this.

It was probably about 4 months after we moved in together... about a year after we 'met' in a chat room.

I'm such a different person now, thanks in no small part to him - he stuck through stuff no other guy would, not even my family ... I'm very very very lucky.
