@gonnabee_Mrs.BMW: I'm curious what you're getting at? I got married because the time was right, and because it made sense for us. And sorry, but there's no non mushy stuff here. We dated for 10 years, and it was time to marry my best friend.
@gonnabee_Mrs.BMW: because he makes me laugh and I can honestly see myself spending the rest of my life with him.
All right. putting how much we love each other aside:
We have similar wants, goals and dreams for the future. He wants the type of home and family I do, which is incredibly important to me because the one thing I want in life is a family. We work well together financially (he's a semi-penny pincher, where I'm willing to have the occasional splurge so we balance each other out and he helps me learn when to say no). And he's just cute, so I know he'll be equally cute as an old person :D
Honesly, I can't imagine another person understanding me as well as he does. We are a perfect match in every way. (Which I guess is mushy, but how on earth do you separate the mush anyway?)
@pengoala: I just didn’t want a bunch a responses that said, "I married SO because I fell head over heels in love with him from the moment I saw his face..." lmao. I don’t have any ulterior motives just figured everyone has a different reason as to why they decided to take the plunge. Ya know…
Just your typical reasons...we have similar goals for the future, we care about each other and want to start a family together.
Because he's the one I want to grow old with. Because he's the one I want to be the father of my children, and I just can't wait to see how a little me or a little him turns out. Because we rely on eachother, and because of how good it feels to know you're never in it alone, no matter what "it" is. Because the number of good moments outweigh the number of bad. Because we trust eachother with our lives, and would take a bullet for one another. Because, because, because... the list could go on. But really "love is all you need" =)
Besides "I didn't want to spend another second NOT being married to him"..
I wanted everyone to stop bothering me about WHEN???? I was going to get married. It almost drove me to committing myself to an insane asylum. It was also important to me to have that official and legal feeling about our relationship on top of the love we have for each other.
But yeah, besides the mushy stuff, I really just wanted the annoying comments and questions to stop.
You guys are soooo in love this is wonderful!!!!! Wait, how did I turn mushy...lol
@CanadianMermaid: CTFU!!!!! thanks for toning down the mush factor...LMAO!!!!!
@CanadianMermaid: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love you, CM. (((hug)))
Green Card!
Only sorta kidding. We lived in border towns and dated for 7 years. I just wanted to move in together so I could come home to him every night. Turns out that we had to get married in order to do this. So we did! We knew we were going to get married anyways, but US Customs and Immigration just speeded it up a little bit :)
@gonnabee_Mrs.BMW: Because he is the only person I can picture annoying for the rest of his life and enjoying it haha kidding. We are different but the same... he keeps me balanced and is my comfort in the world
@CanadianMermaid: too bad the tons of cash doesn't apply, but I concur ;)
he needed my health insurance and we didnt want his daughter with the power to pull the plug on him- thats my job;)
@CanadianMermaid:LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the absolute BEST response to anything ever in my life, ever.
Sugar daddy.
Wait, what? Oh, that's right. I turned into the sugar momma when he was looking for a job for 5 months. But I made him my housewife, doing all the cooking and cleaning.
But besides that, we have a lot of the same goals, values, and I think he's smokin' hot.
@CanadianMermaid: this too. minus the loads of cash. that's coming now that he's been working for 8 months 
We're good partners.
I can't say that we have everything in common, because we actually are pretty different in alot of ways, but we compliment each other in those differences.
To know that we are always able to take care of each other. Even tho we had been together over 4 years and I couldn't picture a my future without him, it was the fact that he was a diabetic without health insurance that made me start thinking about marriage.
@CanadianMermaid: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
We have great communication. He is honest and never tells a secret. He shows no judgement and I can come to him for anything. He stayed by my side during the absolute worst time of my life. He is my absolute best friend.
Tall, dark, and handsome!
But seriously, I can't imagine anyone understanding and supporting me the way my husband does. We've joked about what we think we'd both be doing if we hadn't met. And it makes me wonder whether I would have found someone else who seems like such a fit.
@CanadianMermaid: amazing answer based off this answer i want to be your friend lol
nice body, said he would never get fat (prob a lie but love it ) hes my favorite drinking partner plus all the mushy stuff
Aside from all the mushy stuff- we both started talking about marriage before even falling in love. We really liked each other but we had the same goals and morals. we wanted to start a family. And we wanted a partner that could help us become closer to God. Then............ all the cute mushy stuff :D
Because he makes me laugh all the time and he is an amazing father to our children. I can be 100% me around him and never worry about judgement or criticism. He is honest, grounded and has a good head on his shoulders. He protects our little family and he makes me happier than I have ever been in my life.
In a world that can be far from kind, it is rare to find these qualities in another person, let alone find them in your best friend!
He was the man on my very extensive 2 page "list"....
To name just a few things... Loving him is a bonus!
He's definitely my best friend, we can be totally rediculous together and we laugh about it. I do laugh a ton with him. He's handsome and cute ...and he really wants to start a family. We agreed on names for our children early on in our relationship (and I had some non-traditional names picked out). He's really passionate about what he does. Those are just some of the reasons I suppose! :)
Too bad loads and loads of money didn't come with it haha.:)
Because I couldn't imagine my life without him. When you find your best friend, lover and travel buddy all in the same person, you'd be crazy not to fall in love with him and become his wife. Why go through life by yourself missing out on the opportunity to live a life full of adventure, love and knowing someone has your back 200%? Marriage is more than a piece of paper. It's a pledge of your undying affection, commitment and challenge to grow old with your husband, no matter what circumstances come your way in life. I'm glad I took the plunge! Wouldn't have traded it for anything. And his package and bank account are very nice, but I contribute too :)
@CanadianMermaid: This is too funny. Wish I could come up with something nearly as witty.
Basically, we grew up together (or at the very least, matured into adulthood together). We met in high school, dated for 6 years, and had similar goals. Also having and raising children is one of my top lifetime goals, and he is great with kids, is very loving and playful, etc. He's also a great support and my biggest cheerleader.
I'm also madly in love with him, but forget I said that since you said not to talk about it!
I'll keep it simple. I truly can't imagine anyone else helping me raise my children. I know he will be the best dad (and husband) ever!
financial security and immigration status. he already had a green card, so we were not worried about his US status. but one day we'll move to canada and we wanted it to be as easy as possible for me.
also, I could combine my health insurance with his, which was a major financial benefit.
I saw on one of the other posts that WB needs a "like" button a la facebook & I totally agree cuz I LOOOVVVEEEEE this thread.
Aside from all the love stuff and wanting to have a family and grow old with him and all that...
My maiden name was ridiculously hard to spell and pronounce. His is ridiculously easy to spell and pronounce, and I LOVE it. I've wanted that last name for a very long time, and now I finally have it!
A big reason that we got married is because he has a daughter who deserved the stability of a "stepmom" rather than "dad's girlfriend", and it's meant a lot to her to have that.
I love him because he's a hardworking family man with strong values about marriage. He's very old fashioned and traditional... oh and handsome! He cracks me up every day and really loves me and my family. I knew I wanted to marry him but I think we got married sooner rather than later for his daughter and because I wanted little babies that look like him :)
