I first met my husband when I was in 6th grade. We became good friends when I was a freshman in high school and he was a sophomore. We started dating the next year. We got married when I was 19 and most of our 22 and a half years have been very happy.

He is incredibly supportive of me and is truly my best friend. For us it really has been happily ever after. We think a lot of that is because we didn't have children and all the stresses that raising children can bring. Neither one of us really wanted to have kids - so we didn't. Raising children is too important of a job to do half a$$ed. It's a lot of work to do right.

I think he is a better husband than I am a wife.
