how did you know your wife was "the one"?

She told me.

DL

 

I think if you even question it...............

.............. she's not the one

 

When the prospect of marriage excited me......

 

This is actually a good answer to the question. I remember inquiring with one girl, "so... you're the one." Without a hitch, she said, "yeup, that's me". Needless to say, that was quite a long time ago and it was a me thing that grew distant.

 

All the times I thought I knew I was wrong.

When my sister met her husband she said that she just knew, he says the same thing.

 

I knew she was "the one" when I noticed that she could change the matrix into whatever she saw fit, move very fast and dodge bullets, but I really new after she came back from the dead and jumped into an agents body.

 

Seems like you need some serious advice?
O.K. here is a first quick check-list for you buddy

-Lets have a look on her Current Account Balance
-She knows how to spell Ferrari & Lamborghini
-She is still smiling at 187 mph`s on the passenger seat
-No bla, bla, bla, take care, looook here during the drive
-She loves HER kitchen and YOUR bedroom


Good Luck

 

I always thought that if you had to question this....then maybe you should have a look at the bigger picture???

Our 4 year old daughter told me. At least will not have to wait for her to learn math to figure things out, Not when she was our flower girl

 

When you can get her to agree to all these rules for a good wife. I wish I was living in the 50's


The following is from a 1950's Home Economics textbook intended for High School girls, teaching how to prepare for married life.

****************************************************************

1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be happy and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.

4. Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.

10. The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

 

But this is what I got from a " Modern" wife:
1. Have dinner ready: Make reservations ahead of time. If your day becomes too hectic just leave him a voice mail message regarding where you'd like to eat and at what time. This lets him know that your day has been lousy and gives him an opportunity to change your mood.

2. Prepare yourself: A quick stop at the "LANCOME" counter on your way home will do wonders for your outlook and will keep you from becoming irritated every time he belches at the table. (Don't forget to use his credit card!)

3. Clear away the clutter: Call the housekeeper and let her know you'll need her for an extra day this week. Tell her that any miscellaneous items left on the floor by the children can be placed in the Goodwill box in the garage.

4. Prepare the children: Drop them off at grandma's!

5. Minimize the noise: When he arrives at home remind him that the washer and garbage disposal are still not working properly and the noise is driving you crazy (but do this in a nice way and greet him with a warm smile ... this way he might fix it faster).

6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems and complaints. Let him speak first, and then your complaints will get more attention and remain fresh in his mind throughout dinner. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Simply remind him that the last one home does the cooking and the cleanup.

7. Make him comfortable: Remind him where he can find a warm fuzzy blanket if he's cold. This will show you really care.

8. Listen to him: But don't ever let him get the last word.

9. Make the evening his: a chance to get the washer and garbage disposal fixed.

10. The Goal: To try to keep things amicable without reminding him that you make more money than he does.

 

LOL!

LMAO! I just woke up my kid, laughing at your avatar!!!!

I needed that after the day I've had so far!

DL

 

Sorry your kid is awake. As soon as i updated it, i knew that if one person was going to laugh at it on here, it would be you!!!
Glad you like it!!!
Looks like your teaching your stormtroopers well!!!

 

I'm the kind that gets sick very, very rarely. I knew she was the one when she took care of me when I did have one of those rare sick days (when I could barelyi move with the flu, fever, whatever it was at the time). That was about 18 years ago now.

 

I knew she was going to interfere in my life in a big way the night I met her. I avoided asking her out for six months, because I knew once I did, I was toast. She finally asked me out instead. That was 13 years ago.

 

who's wife.......?

 

When I drank too much in college, she would walk me around the block while I puked.

When she got into an accident with my car, I didn't get mad.

Usually, a guy complains to his buddies about his girlfriends. When he starts complaining about his buddies to his girlfriend, then she is usually the one.

Also, you just know.

Dom

 

usually? how often does this happen to you?

charming about the puke story, my brother did the same thing, got legless one night, barfed all over the living room and awoke the next day to a nice greasy breakfast and a smiling chick letting him know she was cleaning up and to just stay in bed and call if he needs her.

 

I don't think you can KNOW, but BELIEVE or THINK.

To this day, I regret I didn't propose her first. Back then, I thought living together was just natural progress of dating, but I now think I was taking it too lightly.

I truly hope she understand how much I appreciate her though.

 

For me, buying or bought cars over the years, (about 10-11 so far) w/o her consent or knowlege. Never once she was upset, until this last one- the Lotus Elise. She forgave after 1 day sleeping on the couch. For me, that's love or tolerance.
PS. Hid the Elise @ neighbor's garage for a few days before I came clean.

 

You're missing some; that's a partial list from Houskeeping Monthly, 13 May 1955...

To answer the initial post... I know for all of the following reasons, among others:
- Our first date was a night at the racetrack.
- She puts up with all of my quirks.
- She knows I will get a Ferrari, doesn't care, and wants a Porsche for herself.
- She loves to travel and do things most people I know wouldn't do.
- She's kind and loving and genuinely good.
- She passed the "Bronx Tale" test with flying colors.
- We've been through ups and downs and have always supported each other, no matter what's happened.
- I just know.
