Getting along together for such a long time is a lot of give and take and it has to be on both sides. If one person is doing all the giving or all the taking, either the relationship won't last very long or the person doing all the giving will just burn out after so many years. And yes, as others have said, don't sweat the small stuff is important as well. Congrats to you and your hubby on your 20 years and all the best for many more happy years to come! Happy Anniversary!

My husband and I celebrated our 23rd on March 31st. Where has the time gone! I think we have stayed happy because we hear each other out when we have a problem with one another. We encourage outside interest for each other. We remember that we need to spend special time with just the two of us without our daughters, from time to time. I've learned its not always perfect, but there are alot more good times then bad. I agree don't sweat the small stuff. Be nice to each other!!!! Congratulations Janelle.

He still tells me he’s a work in progress.

Yet!!:devil: With our vast age difference we have learned to do things we both like, and what the other one hates or at least doesn't enjoy. That is another big thing. You can't always have it your way. Sometimes you (meaning me) just has to go along with one more trip to a battlefield, even if the outcome is the same. At least I don't drag him to concerts. He should have no complaints. The dog cured him of leaving his socks and underware on the floor- she steals them. And she only wants dirty ones. You never knew where- or when- they would turn up.:happy2: :cocktail:Happy Anniversary!!:cocktail:
