1.When I realized we had fun without having to go anywhere or do anything.
It just all came so naturally.
I ran to my car and cried.

That feeling of real, unpretentious and unwavering love was just so much for me in that moment.
3.Just the sheer effort.
Dropping everything if I had any issue arise.
Helping me without being asked when I lost my job.
Always responding to messages/phone calls even if all he could say was, Busy.

So, yeah, Im going to marry that fucker one day.
He refused to let me be alone that night and had me sleep at his place.

Totally unabashed and just wanting to do a good job for his son.
13.When I realized that my time felt more valuable when I was with her.

We would be together for the rest of our lives whether we were married or not.
At that point it was an easy and logical question to ask.
15.He bought me a Harry Potter LEGO set Ive wanted since I was a kid.

They were incredibly touched, and excited, and insisted I invite her to come over.
Weve now been together 12 years and married for 8.
Its all about finding compatible kinds of stupid.
26.When my dad suddenly collapsed.
We were living a few states away from each other at the time.
Not having to ask him to be by my side was huge.
Literally my first conscious thought was, Im going to marry her.

Just the whole picture…I knew right then I wanted to marry this woman.
30.I came home from work and my dog and my roommates dog had gotten into a nasty fight.
My dog (smaller) got the worst of it and needed immediate attention.
I called him and could barely get any words out between sobs.
He drove over, picked us up and took us to the emergency vet.
He also paid half the bill which was pretty hefty.
My dog is fine, shes now our dog and we call her our dogter.
-The fact that we can spend countless hours together doing absolutely nothing and still enjoy every second of it.
-That her family welcomed me with open arms straight away, without any hesitation.
Cannot wait to marry that amazing woman!
32.Boyfriend took me to do donuts in a parking lot.
Best night of my life.
I didnt complain or say anything but he knew what would happen.
He went and got a razor and shaved our sheets.
He worries about my comfort no matter how stupid or crazy it seems.
No matter how big or small, he looks out for me.
I knew how much he loved me because he was willing to shave bedsheets for me.
Note: we went and got new sheets later but he wanted me to feel comfortable that night.
Anyways, we were getting into some business and I hear a slight hissing sound.
After a moment of silence, she says, So are we just gonna ride it down?
We were sleeping in a twin bed and I had to work earlier than he did.
I woke up in a puddle of my own blood.
I panicked, showered, and just quickly left.
When youre 20 and a dude doesnt freak out about period blood ~ thats true love.
5 years later and 2 years of marriage and things are still pretty chill.
39.There is no specific moment.
Just a lot of little moments.
We have so much in common.
We could be doing nothing, yet as long as we are together we are having a good time.
He has never judged me for my past.
He doesnt want to hurt me or control me.
Every moment I have to spend without him makes me sad.
40.My husband decided to marry me when I drove a motorcycle up a mountain pass in Colorado.
Context: hes had bikes since he was 16, and I had always been a passenger.
I decided to get my license, and 2 months later we drove across the US for 9 weeks.
We drive dual sports, and he wanted to do some trails on the trip.
41.He was in my kitchen in his underwear, looking through my cabinets.
He pulled out a little plastic container of sunflower seeds and shook it like a maraca.
I realized just how much and how often he made me laugh.
42.My Grandmother was in the final moments of life from pretty severe lung cancer.
Bed ridden, home health care, body getting pretty stiff already.
That man changed her diapers.
Cleaned her, cared for her.
Any second thoughts I had about him vanished.
Someone so inherently good from the core is so rare.
She wholly and unconditionally cared for my well-being.
He sat on the couch and patted it for her to jump up.
She doesnt do that, I told him, and anyway shes too old to do it now.
She jumped up onto his lap and settled down for him to pet her, purring loudly.
Weve been married for decades.
We were high school sweethearts, but in my family everyone is divorced.
My own family leaves me.
Im not interesting or special.
He told me not to worry.
As soon as he was done with school hed move to be with me.
Wed see each other as much as possible until then.
Two years later he graduated, and showed up on my door step.
I never believed until that moment, ten years into our relationship, that this could end happily.
Hes such a steady rock, even my skittish heart had to admit this was forever.
He has always been so wonderful and loving.
Hes funny, playful, sexy, nerdy, and cant keep anything clean to save his life.
Being married to him is the easiest and most fun thing Ive ever done.
47.We were doing long distance and chatting on Skype and watching TV together.
He said sweet, Ill find a tuxedo shirt to match.
Six months later I did.
Were getting close to our 8th anniversary.
Also, she figured out how to mix spinach into my food and make it taste good.
49.He was willing to do whatever whenever.
He just wanted to hang out with me.
We never got bored just hanging out.
Its like he was giving me the seal of approval.
Been 4 years happily married.
