We met during Boys and Girl Scouts meetings we were both involved in. A long happy marriage consists of understanding each others wants and needs. I let the Queen run the household and she has never said no to wanting to have sex. We have a lot of sex in our marriage and we are very romantic.
The Snake Charmer
I've never been married so take this for what it's worth, but I've always believed in a separation of duties between a man and a woman in a marriage. Now some people think "teamwork makes the dream work" on tasks but from what I hear from friends, the two people often butt heads on how a tasks is to be done.
If each is left to the other to do the tasks separately, there is much less strife in a marriage. The reason I think this works is because a partner in the marriage is doing something for the other and this fosters endearment for the other partner.
Of course this doesn't always work. Like I said, take it for what it's worth.
Oh yeah, congratulations on staying together for so long!
