  We both think similarly, and not being serious all the time certainly helps! We’ve been married getting on for 40 years now although I spent so much time working away from home, I often joke we’ve only actually lived together for 8 weeks or so.

  If you’ve ever seen ‘Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing’ on the BBC, that’s us. Everyone needs a Bob Mortimer in their life and I was lucky enough to find mine back in 1981.

    I checked it, not watched yet, but those are two-men, not one-husband & one-wife.

      That’s correct. It’s the friendship between them that I am referring to.

        True, sorry. Proof, sex does not matter, we are all people.

        Even though I am VEGAN/anti-fishing I tried to watch it, Youtube had only 10-mins. episodes, but I could only do the 7-mins. of first episode. No disrespect, but little boring.

        Awesome relationship portrayed, almost like the are best friends in real life. Awesome relationship you & your wife has, congrats.

    Cool, I am glad it works for you.

    My parents are a mess, should be divorced long ago, probably should never have met, I know the effect it have on existence, but not been easy, thanks to their way too young as well birth of me. The facts is my grandparents always verbally fighting, terrible matches & not good people, especially the males of both sides, raised terrible people. So, I am glad to read marriage works for you, but for me, I do not trust the insitution & think it is better without it. Of course I am expecting the perfect woman & I am not perfect, lol.
