Wow.I guess I got lucky.
My wife and I dated for all of 4 months before getting married. In retrospect, I knew almost nothing about her.
Just taking the cleaning piece. She likes to clean. She takes great pride is maintaining a clean and nice house for her family. She is far from perfect at it, but I love how hard she tries, and how little she actually directly asks me to do. She wants the house to be perfect for me when I come home from work. It normally isn't but she tries hard and I love that about her. And I am ok with a messy house from time to time. Good golly, we have 4 kids, lots of friend that come over, and hell, we don't live in a museum.
My peeves about her are truly minor. She doesn't ask follow-up questions. But she still takes care of everything that needs to be taken care of during the day. She beats herself up too much because she is a perfectionist. She coddles the kids too much, but at the same time every single one of them KNOWS they are loved. She coddles me too much (seriously). She is a push-over to help people, sometimes to a fault. She is the glue that holds our family, with 5 VERY strong personalities that often clash, together.
Frankly, I married up in all the ways that matter (except money, dammit). I am happy every day when I come home from work and see she hasn't headed for the hills.
23 years coming up in 25 days (married on leap day, so I guess 24 days).
Wouldn't change a thing (except the money part...heh).
That's awesome.... gets me choked up a little
