At what moment was it clear to you that you would marry him? I'm not talking about the moment you were proposed to, but way before that. For me, I knew the day we met we would be together, but it wasn't until thanksgiving of that year that I knew we were meant to be together for ever. It was as stressful as holidays usually are, and I spent all day cooking for 20 people. My mom, being her usual self, had something to say about EVERY dish. I ended up in the bathroom, crying. Instead of trying to make everything better, Steve just held me, let me cry, didn't think I was crazy, and was just what I needed. I knew that he was it for me. Tell me your "this is the moment I knew" stories!

My husband and I have been together since high school but I wouldnt say that I thought he was the one thru our whole relationship. We were young and I did some horrible things to him. The way I knew he was the one was that he looked past everything I had put him thru and still married me.

I agree...and what the heck is up with McNabb before he got hurt he was playing like he didnt care...and AJ Feeley played like crap on Sunday...I think we should give the rookie a chance.

I think Mcnabb Really just doesn't care anymore. I think it's obvious he doesn't want to be a part of the team anymore. It's really frustrating watching this season!

There were a lot of things. We had a lot of things in common, yet we had enough differences to make it interesting. We talked a lot and about everything. He made me laugh. That was a huge thing for me. His looks didn't hurt either! :) I don't know, there was no one thing. We are both very different people than we were 5 years ago when we first got together. We have both changed for the better, and we have grown together instead of apart.

That'a awesome though. If you can't grow and change together, what's the point? It sounds like you're really in love =)

if you don't mind me asking, why are you with him then? I have never really understood staying with someone you don't really feel connected to.

i have to agree...if you don't see things lasting forever, you might as well enjoy being all you single and meeting people who might be worthwhile. its hard to find someone special - and even when you think you have the right person it stil might not work out...but if you focus on having fun and being you, you'll find things work out when you all look back on it.

My husband chased me for a good couple of months until I finally gave in...To be honest I thought he was very pompous when I met him. He tried to act like he was all that and like he was Gods gift on Earth....Then we went out on our first date...LOL...It wasnt your typical lets go out to dinner and be uncomfottable date...We went to a sports bar and then went walking downtown just admiring the sites...We snuck into this really huge hotel and rode the glass elevator up and down...It was soo funny...We stopped by a bar and grill and shared an appetizer and had a drink and then he did the funniest thing...He asked if he could kiss me. I started laughing at him..It was just too funny to me that he would ask that at that place. So I told him no and your not supposed to ask in a bar of all places. So we left and we were walking back to the car and he asked if he could hold my hand instead...It was sweet and he apparently wasnt too hurt at my laughing at him even though he says now that it was a huge blow to his ego and he had never had that happen. He took me back home and wham....fireworks and our first kiss...Then I made him leave..LOL...I apparently was the only girl to ever say No to him...Glad I did cause now we are happily married and have beautiful Son!

my husband makes me laugh so hard sometimes i think i'm going to pee my pants... I have been lucky to have so many of those "the one" moments with him I can't even begin to list them all. The first time I decided I was starting to like him, we were sitting on our friends porch drinking and playing various versions of knocking on heaven's door on the guitar... since then life's handed us quite a few downfalls, surprises, and blessings. he's always been there to stay calm, make me laugh, and now i see him holding our 3 month old and i just know :)

it was not a single moment. it was like a progressive situation that made me think my husband was 'the one'. he got good qualities that every woman would fall for, but for me, the best is his being patient and his willingness to listen and adjust and compromise on things which make our relationship grow stronger each passing day.

My wife said she knew I was the one about 3 months after we started dating. She was sick and I stayed home from work for five days taking care of her. She had her period while sick and I rushed to the store and bought her Midol, Tampons, Panty liners. You know, all the stuff that men just love to buy at the store.

hey xreesex. when this topic comes up, i only have one memory in mind. when my husband first said that he loved me, those weren't his only words. he said that i will be the one he will spend the rest of his life with. i guess he knew it before i did. it is still too early to brag, we've only been married for 11 year in january 23, 2007 but i know he is my soul mate. because i don't even have to say how i'm feeling. i am so comfortable with him always. the moment i knew he was the one story, well when he helped me took care of my brother who was very ill and never asked anything in return. or never heard anyhting about it from him ever. that was the moment. be well

I'm not sure if I should be answering this, since we're only engaged...but I will anyway! We first met, and I wasn't entirely positive it would work, since there's such a large age difference. Things started going well, and even though I really wasn't looking for anything this serious, I really liked him. It broke my heart to have to break the news to him that I was pregnant (by someone else, quite a bit before we met!), but that's how I knew he was the one. He never even batted and eyelash at the thought of raising someone else's child with me. He never even considered leaving, and he treats my son like his own. I don't know too many men that would do that, even if it's because they're too proud...I'm really thankful to have him, and can't wait to start our life together :o)

I knew my husband was the one when he came to my apartment after our first date. We hadn't made any plans, and he showed up to surprise me with a bag full of groceries. I had just moved in, and didn't even have a fridge yet. He brought all of my favorite foods we had talked about the night before. It was the sweetest moment in my life.

I met my husband in a chatroom. We talked for months, and then we finally met in person. It was great, the moment we met in person I knew I was in love. Some people think we're crazy, but that's ok with me.

for me it was before we were even dating. I met my husband at a new years party. I was first attracted by his smile. The attraction got stronger over the evening & the next day, (a gang of us had stayed to play cards)I watched him to try & work out his negative points. What I found made me sure he was the one for me. It sounds a bit cold & clinical but I'd let lust override logic for long enough. The result was a lot of partners that were SO not suitable! After lots of phone calls & email chats we went on our first date 6 weeks later & he proposed 4 weeks after that :-) We've been married 4 years now & have 2 beautiful sons.
