how many have a WAF?

My wife says I am happy. :)

In some ways marriage is like audio -- synergy is worth waiting for. I know, because I have been lucky enough to find it. My wife and I will have been married for eight years next month, and it continues to get better each day.

Yes, once you get past the initial infatuation, it does take some work to keep things rolling in the right direction (let's be realistic) but it's each person's willingness to put in the necessary work that shows the other person that the relationship is still strong.

If you haven't been able to find your soulmate yet, there's no way to go other than to do what you would if you were searching for the missing "magic" component -- keep on auditioning!

BTW, if I may carry the audio analogy one step farther (possibly even to the point of corniness), many of us guys often approach women as though we were looking to buy a speaker by its cabinet alone. While I won't deny that a well-made cabinet adds to the package, if you want to make beautiful music, it's ultimately the driver that counts. Don't make the mistake of staring at the enclosure when you should be listening to the music.

Married 25 years, same lady. Life is good.

Swingman-Damn that's why I bought avalons!! VERY nice "cabinets", most likely something else would work better for less but they are purty ;)

Tireguy,

Do the smart thing, get drunk and go to a strip club!!!

At the age of 29, and current status of never been married AND single, I don't think "they" will find anything. Interesting thing about life though, something seems to find you.
