We are both opinionated and bossy and when we both are cat lovers.

In 22 years we have never, ever had a fight. It's quite amazing. Even if the intense part of me wants to fight, the laid back part of him won't allow it. So, we just talk through the problem. We are together all the time... we work out together, shop together and most of all ride together. He's truly my soul mate and I don't know what I would do without him.
Ooops... forgot about the "commitment" part. We had both been through bad marriages and the "M" word was not in our vocabulary. We dated for a year, lived together for 12 years and have been married for 9 years! I think the commitment was always there, though. You don't need to be married to be committed.
