Long-term contentment is achievable in real life, as evidenced by the many people who have discovered their own version of “happily ever after” outside of fairy tales. These inspiring stories of joy, love, and long-lasting partnerships should serve as role models for everyone. I often called our children ‘ma-ma-ma-ma’ when my wife was not around.
I wanted her to experience that unique moment of hearing them say “mama” for the first time. I had no intention of telling her about this little secret, even though it meant a lot to her. Together with my husband, I went to the lottery in my life.
He was raised by his mother because his father was absent a lot and he was raised in a complete family. She taught him basic household skills such as cooking, mopping floors, folding laundry, ironing and even cleaning toilets and baths. After our marriage, my husband took over the responsibility of buying home appliances. I’ll never forget the first morning I woke up to find him diligently cleaning the toilet – even reaching hard-to-reach places with his rear end. It was shocking at first, but over time it helped me learn the value of keeping a clean home, even if I’m not clean.
My wife grows peppers on the balcony every spring as a special pastime. The amount of joy he gets from just looking at those leaves and flowers is laughable. He thinks they are the best ever and let me tell you, he loves eating them in salads!
But once he was a bit grumpy. Our cat sneaked in and nibbled on his priceless sprouting peppers. “I don’t talk to her anymore,” he joked, but that was short-lived. You can’t stay mad at a sly cat for too long, right?
Once my husband invited me to a fancy restaurant. We had a coffee and a small meal but I recommended we head home for pizza or rolls after seeing the outrageous prices on the menu. Since he had gone to the trouble of choosing a restaurant and booking a table, I was concerned that he might be offended.
To my amazement, my husband breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s amazing that our tastes match! We’ll cook potatoes, too! We just didn’t connect with gourmet food; it wasn’t about being impoverished.
My wife’s car broke down unexpectedly when we first moved in together, making it difficult for her to get to work in the bitter weather. She was shocked when I offered her my car without thinking.
She was used to her ex-husband not sharing a car, so when she needed a ride, she used taxis or public transportation. Practicality and trust are more important to us than material possessions. Why not use a car to help if there is one? especially since my commute is a short walk.
I decided to buy myself a new car and my husband and I found it in another city.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly when we went to the dealership to trade in our old car – that is until I remembered I’d forgotten the registration certificate.
My husband was tolerant and level-headed even when I made a mistake. While I was at the dealership organizing the paperwork, he hurriedly flew back home to grab the paperwork.
We still love the car we bought because of how fast it moves. This event strengthened my feelings of love and gratitude for my husband’s patience and help.
One day I had to meet my ex to pick up my papers and my car was towed for illegal parking. In a mocking reply, the former said, “Ha ha, typical.” Conversely, my current partner had a joyful response, thanking the universe for her steady income. My mother also visited the hospital that day, but luckily nothing dangerous was found.
My previous husband often screamed for no reason and was quite emotional. I had no idea how different and healthy a relationship could be until I remarried. My second husband expressed his concern for my well-being even after I caused the accident, adding, “The most important thing is that you’re okay.” The car can always be repaired!» I now see how important it is to have him in my life because of his calming and encouraging demeanor.
We have shelves in our house where we keep things like paper towels, laundry detergent, and napkins. Usually, the largest stash of tissues is kept up high, out of my wife’s reach. Therefore, for her convenience, I always make sure to place the box of Kleenex on the lowest shelf without her seeing it.
One day she asked for a box of Kleenex and I grabbed it from the top shelf without thinking. She was surprised and asked why I didn’t take one from the bottom shelf when it was in front of me. “Because that one is for you,” I retorted. After 25 years of marriage, she didn’t notice this modest gesture of consideration, but she was genuinely happy about it.
Since I am a biologist, I tend to bring home snakes, frogs, and insects and admire the characteristic forms of plants.
Unfortunately, my previous relationships often frustrated these interests. But I had an epiphany about my current relationship while walking through the woods. My partner said, “You collect moss so cute, like a wood nymph!” after we cooked the skull we found. It was then that I realized I had discovered someone who genuinely appreciated my quirks and interests.
My husband recently took something apart and it fell from the ceiling and caused the chandelier. I quickly asked him if he was okay before I silently cleaned the glass and mopped the floor. Likewise, my husband reacts to my misfortunes – such as breaking dishes or burning pots – calmly and with a smile.
There’s no need to shout or cause a scene because we both know accidents happen.
My mother went with my husband to pick out a fur coat for me when we first got married.
She was impressed by how coolly and calmly he walked me through each store, waiting for me to try on different coats before making my decision. Her own husband, on the other hand, was never unhappy, although he was often nervous or refused to accompany her to the grocery store.
My mother was quite impressed with his calm and patient demeanor during the shopping expedition.
None of my co-workers in the communication salon have ever met my wife. One day my wife came out of the blue after a hectic day with about five people in the room including three staff members. I took the opportunity to say, “You’re our 1,000th client today, so you’ll get a kiss from a company employee!” with a cheerful smile, shocking everyone in the room.
