I would love to think that I know my husband very well! Like what kind of food he likes, movies that he enjoyed to watch, music that he likes and any simple things that he likes and don't likes. I would know right away if my husband are not in the good mood, just looking through his face, lol. How about you? How well do you really know your partner? This may be not a good question to ask for those who been married for so many years! Thanks for sharing.

Hi cj! Though I can say that I know lot about my better half, yet I am still trying to figure out what pleases her most and what makes her annoyed. Life is a journey and married life is also part of the journey. We keep learning from our partners and in the process, keep knowing about him/her. I feel it takes lots and lots of time, may be years together to exactly know you partner, specially in the cases such as mine, where the marriage was an arranged marriage and we did not know each other before marriage (no love affair.........LOL!). I try my best to understand her and her hidden emotions and feelings and keeping doing the same, every new day. Have a great day! Deepak

It's true, we keep learning from our partner in each day goes by and maybe yes, it would takes a lot time to know our partner very well. I guess, as long as the couples understand and respect each other, it'll be a healthy relationship. And I'm sure in time you'll know each other very well, specially when the mood swing, lol. Thanks, Dpk.

Hi Cjay77, i think i still have long ways to learn to read and know my partner as we just marriage few years. Me too, i would like to know more of my partner as it helps improve on our relationship. Sometimes i get frustrated because she didn't really get what i mean and she do it another way. But think again, every couple is from different background and family, thus tolerate is the key factor to have better relationship. Wish every couple happily ever after.!!

Hi adriantys78, Congratulation to both you. Frustrations and arguments are normal in a relationship, as long you both know how to communicate with each other and respect each other theres a BIG chance that you will have a healthy and happy marriage. And I agree that every couple has a different way how to handle their marriage and different background of course. I wish also that every couple to live happily ever after and thank you so much for the response.

I know my hubby from the tip of his hair to the tip of his toe. I married the guy that I surely knew. His likes and dislikes of foods, things, and attitude. What important for me is, how to make him happy and feel comfortable. And that is so easy to do for me. I am not a mind reader but I knew what comes to his mind most of the time. I think that's the reason why even we are both apart for 3 years it wasn't a problem at all for us. I know when he lies and I know when he say the truth.

Hello sanjana, Haven't seen you for quite some time! Maybe the ego of your husband won't accept that fact that you know him better than himself! Argue is very common in relationship. I hope for your marriage to be healthy and happy forever. Thanks for the response friend.

I know my partner better than he knows himself, even he has admitted this. We share everything. Maybe knowing him so well is what keep us away from petty disagreements who knows. Oh did I mention he knows me just as well.

Hi grammasnook, I must agree that if we know our partner well enough, theres a big chance to keep us from petty disagreements. I'm not sure if this would works to others also! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
