Do you still have long discussions with your spouse?

Last night, my husand and I were talking about politics and our solutions to the world around us and lost track of time. At 4 a.m. we finally decided we should shut up and get some sleep, but it was not until after we had talked half the night.
In two weeks, we will celebrate 15 years together and I have to say I was thrilled to discover we still actually like to talk to each other, even to the detriment of our sleep schedule.
Do you still enjoy talking to your spouse? Is there anything in particular you like to talk about?

Next week we will celebrate our 30th together. We still talk to eachother and share everything, just like the first day. Good luck and congratulations on your 15th coming up. God bless you. M&M

M&M,
Isn't it great to still be that in love? I find it reassuring to know that we still get along so well.

We've had to talk via email too, so I understand that too. I think it's always fun when you are emailing and are typing back and forth so quickly that you finally decide its easier to just pick up the phone and call each other :)

Even if you don't start out agreeing, it's great that you talk to one another. I think that finding each other interesting years later is the key to a lasting relationship.

I was saying, in another discussion, that I met my husband online in 2001 (we've been married since Jan. '04). We became the best of friends and used to have all night phone or IM conversations, watching the sun come up... sometimes about serious matters, other times we played trivia games against each other, sometimes we talked about past personal matters that we were dealing with individually. Our relationship didn't start out as a "love relationship"... we just liked each other's company. I think that made a great basis for our marriage because we talk all the time, about anything and everything. We will lay in bed gabbing or laughing about stupid things 'til the girls tell us to either shut up or close our door LOL I guess we still like each other's company ;) Here's hoping it stays this way!!

My hubby and I didn't start out dating either, just as friends and now he is definitely my best frined ever. We have a lot of fun together even when the most exciting thing we are doing is hanging out and watching bad television.
It's nice to still want to talk to him...to have him look for books and movies that he thinks I will enjoy...etc.
I suspect you will find that as long as you remain good friends everything else just works!

Oh yes we do, - and like you, I think it's very important. It means we still find each other interesting as people, and that is vital I think. We also laugh a lot too - just silly things - we have a very similar sense of humour. As to what we talk about - well anything really - politics, the news of the day, world events, football (LOL!), - we never have an agenda - our conversations just kind of happen. And we've been together 20 years now - so I think that's pretty good too:-))

That's what I want...20 or 50 years of still enjoying each other's company and opinions. We don't always agree, but at least we respect one another's opinions enogh that we still listen to each other. I hope it never ends.
And yes, 20 years is a great start!
