My husband and I have been married for 23 yrs. He is a very loving, understanding, responsible ,caring husband and father, Yes he listens to me and I listen to him. To me communication is the glue to any successful marriage,with out communication you have nothing.And I do make more money then him right now I'm a computer operator and he is a casino manager. But there also been times when he made more money then I. But that should not even matter when you get married you become as one. If he has 2.00 then I have 2.00 if he has .02cents then I have.02 cent . If you love each other it does not matter haow much money you make.

My husband is the best - he mostly listens!!! he is my best friend, my partner, my cheering section all roled into one. We make the same - except right now I am off on maternity leave so he is making more. Sometimes money does get tight with us both working full time jobs, and having a home business buying, re training and selling horses - showing can get expensive. But we make it work. We have fun - prefer to be busy than not, he is a very hard worker has a physically demanding job but the best thing about our marriage is he is the last person I see when I close my eyes and the first person I see when I wake up. We've been married 5 yrs - together for 7 I love him dearly.

I love my husband, he doesn't always listen, but I talk a lot so it is hard for him to listen all the time. I am a stay at home mom so yes he makes more money than me. What makes it work for us? Putting God first in our marriage and being understand to the others needs.

Um, right now, the only thing making it work is he has patience enough to stay with me so he doesn't have to pay child support and live alone. We have unsigned divorce papers. I'd like to see it work, but I doubt it ever will. The internet is more important to him than my being able to afford the medical care I need to stay alive and take care of our children. He will never work, though he claims that's what he is trying to do online. i guess the other thing making it work is I can take advantage of his having the internet and come on here and rant or complain to thin air and feel a tiny bit better. I make about the same amount working as he "makes" with disability. He is the smarter one and more able to work physically, but does not. He does listen sometimes. He can be nice, but I'm afraid I'm not nice anymore and he has done nothing to improve my feelings about guys or myself. Even when I tried things the so called approved Christian way, he still expected me to be full of honey with him doing nothing. Anyway, rant OVER.

He is romantic, affectionate, caring of others, kind, sweet, stubborn at times, very hard worker.
We make about the same amount of money.
He always listens to me, as I do him. He is 50, getting a bit chunky, beautiful blue eyes and a wonderful smile.
What makes it work is we respect each other, truly love each other, allow each to be their own person, and have fun together - tease, snuggle, call each other during the day - all the things you did when you first fell in love - and moreso than anything, we have a magic connection and chemistry together; both mind and body.

He is almost perfect very affectionate but he also gives my space when i need it, yes he makes more than me but i make enough! we never fight about money. He listens and hears as do i. he is very good step father to my 3 son's, he know's where to draw the line and let me handle it he just gives me his opinion and if i take it ok and if i don t ok.we have damn near a perfect relationship I couldn't ask for me.

He is my best friend. He knows me inside and out and he still loves me, Does he listen?..umm sometimes...Does he make more money than me? Yes for the moment bc I am unemployed, but I used to make more than him, he doesn't care though, bc in our relationship, it doens't matter who makes it we both are free to spend it once the bills are paid and we saved some.
