I have lived an independent life.
I paid my own tuition fees,
I earned my own degrees.
I have my own bank account,
In addition to our joint account.
I fully respect my hubby in reality,
I never doubt his loyalty.
No stalks,
No angry talks.
We become the happiest married folks.

This poem is close to my real life. I spend ZERO time questioning or monitoring my hubby, what's the point? We have two boys, I don't think that anyone can break my marriage. I encourage him to make as many friends as possible. Outside home, everyone wears a mask, it is natural that people are more friendly, but back at home,
everything is real, I know him and he knows me, we make a perfect family!

I've always said about my marriage, that what is mine is ours..And what is hers is hers!
Yours sounds a bit better..hehehehe
Excellent 55 My Friend.
Have I thanked you enough for making your blog so accessable?
Thanks for being so supportive...You Rock!!
Independence is vital to growth and self esteem.
I'm really laughing--WITH you, not AT you, believe me!

wow Jingle,
Ur post made me ponder..really..
Im not amrried yet but still understand that giving each other space and mutual respect is what forms the base of any relationship..
TRUST is a big factor..this just confirms my belief that ur indeed SUPERWOMAN ;-)
Nice post!
you can reply-comment on my blog if you like so it's easier for me :)
oh wow ... how old are you? i always thought you were my age ... :)
Though my husband and I shared a lot, I am glad I had my job, my own bank account and my own ideas about a lot of things and so had he. Great poem, Jingle!
This is very beautiful. I love reading your posts. BTW, the picture was very cute. Thanks for sharing...:)
That's the way a marriage should be if you ask me. :) Excellent 55 my friend. Have a wonderful weekend :)
I love to read about the happy marriages ~ thank you for your offering today. My parents celebrate 50 years soon and this could easily be their story as well. Beautiful.
I'm up at:
Friday Flash 55 ~ Silvia's Smile
Yours and mine this week are quite similar, aren't they? Way to go. I guess you could say 'great minds think alike'.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment.
Thank you for sharing Jingle. Have a blessed weekend.
Enjoyed this bunches.
Thanks for stopping by and offering words of support.
This is so great Ji! Why check up on him because if someone wants to do it, they will...Whatever is done in the dark eventually comes to life....Why stress myself wondering what he is doing, I am too busy doin me :) One day I will have a relationship like this...When that time is right :)
Quite awesome, Jingle.
I feel the same way about me and my Mrs. :)
I have been married for 18 years,
I am 41...Thank you all for the positive feedback...U Rock!
No twists or turns in this 55. No surprises. They are not needed. This 55 is perfect just exactly the way you wrote it. You are a very lucky lady.

Secretly, I know my husband wishes I were the one writing that poem.
you do have a loving, trusting home.
Just what those children need
love
Nice poeme, for me it's difficult to write a poeme in English, lol !
Independence shows you are positive of finding the being you truly are as this is your Enlightenment and whatever comes your way you will understand it is a trial that vanishes well because of your Onenness in being...my hat is off to you in this endeavour...enjoy as well and Happy Friday also(+)
soulbro*:)
hmm. this is so like you. lovely poem. cherish this trust and love.
I admire your attitude. I could never be that strong in my relationship.
Re: Anonymous
My husband works as a professor in university, for 6.5 years, we work at exactly the same building...
he teaches college students, he has to be an adviser to graduate students at times, it means working with female students individually with their Masters Degree creative component or Thesis, my husband looks young and full of energy, he wins fellowships and research grants, everyone loves him.
I know how much he loves our boys,
I told him to feel free doing what's best for his career, I set up different office hours, I purposely avoid going close to his office during his office hours, because he will have students asking him questions...his office door is always open when he has students in....
Yes, I may be be upset or feel jealous if I see a young woman student in his office talking to him individually, but I choose not to see it. I myself talk to many young male college students, besides teaching them the class and helping them learn in a fun way, I have NO feelings for my students...
I choose NOT to ask or doubt my husband (my choice), I am busy with my own stuff. Sometimes he himself tells me stuff, I will listen...
"I think I will spend the rest of my life with you." He keeps telling me,
I said:"Well, any time, if you think that there is another woman who can be a better wife, please let me know.
I love you, but never wanted to be a burden of yours, i will let you go if you love me no more."
And so, he simply stayed and loves me more.
I feed him his favorite dishes,
when he comes home, the food is ready on the table and he simply sits down and eats...he is spoiled,
now I am spoiled to blog about it.
Many thanks for sharing your own experiences.
Your poetry is amazing! Nice work!
I really like this, Jingle There is no more loving a relationship than that of two independent people who respect and are committed to each other.
Well done.
What a great poem and insight into your happy home! Loved reading this on a Friday morning!
we are all connected, yet feel separated. We strive for independence while we long to couple.
Being happy with the set up has a lot to do with it working!
that is so touching and so beautifull ... it just shows how much you respect your and other's life and decisions...
Very pretty!! You did a great job!
So lovely Jingle !!!!
Its a LOVING post :)
Have a Happy Weekend
