What Makes Your Relationship Special?

My husband and I were friends for years before we became a couple. To this day he is still my favourite person to just hang out with and talk to. He really is my closest friend.

I have been with my boyfriend for going on six years now and what makes it special is that we never ever fight. I know it sounds odd, but when people say "All couples fight". Haha.. not Brian and I. In 6 years we have never had an argument, and neither of us have ever had to raise our voices. I guess thats just the kind of people we are. We dont really have disagreements either, we just kinda... debate I guess is the word. If I am in a bad mood, he just gives me my space and dosent bother me. And vice versa. We are very respectfull of each other we listen to each other... that helps alot. The kicker is we work in the same office and live in the same apartment... but we never get sick of each other!

Everything you mentioned.He's awesome.

I'm glad you asked! I have to tell you that you're definitely on a roll with the most amazing discussions today. I can't wait to see what you come up with next! First of all, I pretty much kind of answered this question in a previous discussion of yours that I responded to, but this discussion gives me the opportunity to expand on those items I mentioned previously. So that makes me happy! My boyfriend and I have been together almost four years. The two of us met about four and a half years ago at college because (don't laugh) he liked my roommate and I liked a friend of his. In the process of me hooking my soon-to-be-boyfriend up with my snobbish roommate, I definitely fell for him! As far as the guy I liked at the time was concerned, he was way too shy for me, and my boyfriend wasn't very good at introducing people. (LOL) I really just started feeling bad for him having to put up with my rude roommate so I befriended him. I was also jealous that she got all of his attention and I was always just the "third wheel." We had a five-week break from college so I headed home and didn't think much about it. I didn't talk to him once while we were apart. Apparently, he and my roommate talked every night of that five-week break, though. I was absolutely shattered when I found that out. Anyway, I tried to start moving on, but my boyfriend and I continued to get to know each other better because of the fact that he and my roommate were having "relationship issues." (I knew it was all her fault, so I made that very obvious to him. It wasn't even that I was trying to "steal him away" or anything like that.) I just really didn't think he deserved to be treated that way. Through the whole thing, I spent more and more time with him and without a doubt started falling for him. The funny and cute thing is that he was definitely hooked before I was! That was odd to me because I'd always had crushes on other guys that I thought were cute and this was the very first time in my life the guy was attracted to me before I became attracted to him. He did an excellent job reeling it in, so to speak, because only a few short months later, he asked me out and we've been happily dating ever since. One of the unique things about our relationship is that we understand each other and it's so unreal. We finish each other's sentences. We (almost) read each other's minds. The funniest thing is that we met at college in Florida when we've lived an hour away from each other all our lives! This really gives me goosebumps thinking about it because what are the chances of us actually meeting had we not attended the same college? I don't want to think about the possibility of if we had never met each other! Anyway, I'm so thankful we're not far apart. If we lived closer to each other, that would be ideal. Back to what I was thinking of, though. We'll be on our long-distance phone call and I remember telling him to stop doing something while he was on the phone with me or guessing what he was doing and I was right way too often! I couldn't see what he was doing or know what he was thinking, but more often than not I would be right when I told him. It's kind of hard to explain, but it was really freaky! Another thing is that although I'm a girl, I love cars and everything about them. My boyfriend has always adored that about me. I can't learn enough about cars (and apparently I can't own enough either as I have two of my own right now). (LOL) We understand each other and can talk so deeply. We're so committed to each other, but yet, we've saved ourselves for each other, if you know what I mean. I would hate to do anything that would put a barrier between us. I trust him more than anyone else and I know he would give his life for me. He does anything I ask (as long as it's humanly possible) and (because of my parents) he may have to wait a year or two more to marry me. He knows it's all worth it and is willing to wait as long as it takes. I always look up to him. Whenever I have an important decision to make, he's the first person I ask. Whenever I'm upset, he usually always already knows why, but he's one of the only people I can go to. I love knowing my man that well because guys are just so much less emtional then us women. (LOL) It's nice having someone to depend on. He's a good cook too! He's actually better at using a sewing machine also, which is really funny. He enjoys shopping and I think I would die if he didn't because he's been such an awesome shopping companion. He's my companion for life and I can't believe I was able to wait this long to marry him! We share the same beliefs, morals, and standards, which really saves us a whole lot of arguments. Yes, every relationship is going to have it's difficulties, but I really appreciate how you worded your discussion. No one wants to remember the difficult times. This is my favorite discussion so far. The reason how I know is because this is probably my longest response yet! (Of course, you asked about my man so naturally it's going to be like me writing a novel.) Thanks again for a spectacular topic! Keep up the good work.

Well, I have had a lot of ups and downs in my relationship. We have also broken up and gotten back once. But what makes mine special is that no matter what we confront any possible situation, talk our hearts out, hang up on each once or twice, call back and talk more and by the end of all say "Am sorry baby, I should've been more understanding. I love you like crazy." One of us always controls the situation and not let it go out of our hands.

i think being married is great as u said that there are ups n downs so we do have sometimes it gets so terrible but yes eventually we both sort it out together coz i feel no 2 peopel can be aliks so comes the differences but yes then it feels good also to have someone around ourselves always there when we need ..

Agreed with you. Relation is like a string. If relation is full of faith and reliable, then it will never isolated.

what makes my relationship with my boyfriend special is that, we are far from each other, yes but that's what makes it more special... we keep the communication alive, everyday, we call each other three times a day and also we text each other. well, one more thing, we have a son already, he makes it more special and makes the relationship stronger. we have had problems too but we have been through it.

My husband and I will celebrate 38 years on April 20th, 2008. He is kind, and giving, compassionate. We have fun and love to talk. We talk about anything. We share our sorrows and laugh togather. We love being togather. We still hold hands and he is always making sure I don't hurt myself. I look after him and want him to be safe and get enough rest and look after him as well. Sometimes if he wants by me to the kitchen for example I ask him if I am in his way and he always says "No dear, your never in my way. I love you and would miss you if you were not right here" He brings me flowers unexpectedly or gives me a card just because. I write him little notes and poems and get him flowers too or cards. When he is at work (He is a substitute teacher) He calls me. It is rare that he does not call. We are still very much in love. And love just being togather.

The unique atmosphere, the world for both of you only what you create together. We cant give sometimes strict explanations, we can just feel it.

I like how you describe your relationship with your husband and those reasons are my centiments exactly. We are a team in life together, we are best friends. I love what you said. You would never hurt each other and I love that because isn't that what love is. You don't want to hurt the people you love. This is what I don't understand about so many couples. I mean how can they even think to have an afair?I don't understand it.

We appreciate each other, even little things that we do for one another. We never argue, we discuss and talk about things, we both had prior marriages that were filled with arguing all the time, and life is too short for that. Even if I'm having a really bad day, he can make me laugh. Like you, we are best friends, and enjoying doing things together, even if that might be only watching a movie on the couch. He pays attention to things I say, example, at some point in time in the past 3 years that we've been together, I mentioned that I had always loved photography (I personally don't recall discussing that with him LOL) For Christmas he bought me a new DSLR camera and printer! and told me that I had once said something about it! lol

What would make my realtionship special, would be to have my husband's understanding when I make my own choices and not argue with me, no matter if he agrees to what I do or not.

my relationship is very much like yours hun, we have that in common, also its the little things we do that make us special, we have fun together, which is one thing that alot of people forget to do when they are in a relationship ! xxx

My husband makes me smile at everything at any time. He is so lovable that I can never get angry on him.There had been some situations wherein we have had some misunderstandings..But they are all only for few minutes..We join up again and enjoy the moment.

I always say this to my friends who are loveless and that is to find someone that is not perfect but is the one that is perfect for you. We may have standard or qualifications before we dive into a relationship but the truth of the matter is we can't handle the person who has the qualities that we are looking for. So be with someone that you can be yourself with and be with the one that accept you as who you are and vise versa.

Aside from being the best of friends, my husband and i also share interests like books, songs, food, and our daughter. We love eating out and trying new restaurants. We love seafood and experimenting with cooking. We also pray together alot. We worship God together whether in church or at home. Even if our daughter is still a baby and cannot understand us yet, my husband and i pray with her every night. this makes sleeptime more peaceful, knowing that not only did you bond with each other, but also submitted our lives and activities to God.

I love my boyfriend because he is patient with me and he loves me with all his heart even if I have a physical disability.What makes our relationship special is no matter how many times people try to come between us,we're still together,going strong.I'm looking forward to more adventures in life with him,my one and only.
