23 Husbands Describe TheMoment They Knew They Found'The One'
Every couple's love story features a series of moments: the
first date, the first kiss, thefirst fight, and of course those
first feelings of love. But how exactly do couples gofrom "in love"
to "I do"?
A Reddit thread
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/)popped
up on Monday askingmarried men to tell the story of the exact
moment they knew their wife was The One.Read on for 23 super sweet
anecdotes and tell us yours in the comments.
1. They were a perfect match -- literally."When we first moved
in together and we were unpacking our books. I stepped backwhen we
were done and I noticed we had doubles of all of our favorite
novels(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6nqdf).
I rememberthinking to myself, 'yup, she's the one'."
2. When she became his rock."My Dad had just died, and I went to
his funeral a state over around five hours away.So I'm sitting
there alone in my hotel room and my girlfriend calls me to see how
I'mdoing and I say I'm fine when I'm really torn up inside. I was
unable to sleep and ataround 4 am I get a knock on the hotel door
... I looked through the window andinstantly started crying. My
girlfriend had driven five hours
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6xiwh)
in the middle of thenight because she knew I was having a hard
time."
3. When he realized she supported him unconditionally."The first
night we met, I was unemployed
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck719o4)and
she was far too attractive for me. When I reluctantly told her
about myemployment situation, she calmly responded 'Well it looks
like I'm buying your drinksfor the night then!'. I knew she was
something special, a year later I asked her tomarry me. We've been
together 10 years and have two kids. She stays at home andnow I buy
her drinks."
4. They laughed at all the same jokes, even when no one else
was."Out to the movies with a big group. Stupid movie, but there
was only one otherperson who laughed
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6u8qi)
[when] I laughed. Ifigured out who she was. We went out. We
continued to laugh at all the wrong spots inlife. We have been
married almost 25 years. Still laughing when no one else does."
5. When he knew he had found his other half."The moment I
realized I stopped thinking 'I' and was always
thinking(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck753br)'we'."
6. When he could be his silly self, and she was right there with
him."We had been dating for about 3-4 months. We were holding
hands(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6r6nc)
after walking out of astore and reached the curb. Without skipping
a beat, we both jumped off the curb, thesame as I have done since I
was a little kid. My daughter and I now do it regularly. Ifyou are
still a kid at heart, find someone with a similar heart."
7. When she knew him better than anyone in the world."One was on
my 18th birthday. Worked hard at a very physically demanding job
8-4every day. Would come back home and shower then take a nap every
day. My momhad other plans ... she had dozens of my friends and
family surprise me with abirthday party. Anyone who knew me knew I
wouldn't want this. Yet out of all myfriends and close family, my
now wife
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6t7q2)was
the only one who told me in advance what was coming. I bought the
ring thatsummer."
8. Suddenly, his S.O. was the best friend he could ever ask
for."When she woke me up at 5 am to go to a pub to watch a
soccer(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6vbbh)game."
9. When he knew his S.O. loved what he loved."I was in the
bedroom getting ready to go somewhere and I heard my
wife(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6ugzz)
(girlfriend at thetime) in the living room say 'That's what you get
for fucking with Indiana Jones,douche bag!'. I asked her to marry
me shortly after. I think she was watching LastCrusade."
10. When he no longer had to put on airs, because she
wasn't."Any previous girl I dated, when driving in the car with me
would tell me to calmdown when someone did something stupid. I'm no
maniac, just Italian. I just yell atthem and move on. Well the
first time we were in a car together, she was driving andsomeone
cut her off. Before I even said a word I heard 'Are you fucking
kidding me?!'That was the moment
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6x50q)."
11. When his S.O. shared his dreams."I have a crazy obsession
with Australia, and dream of
visiting(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6wjcs)
one day. My birthdayrolled around soon after we began dating, and
somehow she found a $20 Australianbill and gave it to me as a gift,
along with a slew of other presents.I'm saving that bill for when
we eventually make it to the other side of the globe and Iam
spending it on her."
12. The moment "forever" sounded like a good idea.After our
first date, I remember thinking 'I want to spend as much time with
thiswoman as I can.' We were married four months later. Still
married(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6t6y6)ten
years later."
13. When she stuck by him in sickness and in health."I was
hospitalized with a broken hip
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6vjmg)and
she refused to leave my side through four days in the hospital.
This was after mymother had passed away earlier in the year. That
was the moment I realized that shewas the one and have been
together ever since."
14. He discovered she was even nerdier than he was, in the best
possibleway."She corrected me when I mispronounced the name of
Gandalf's sword. God I lovethis
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6xvmg)woman."
15. When his S.O. was willing to conquer her fears, just for
him."My now wife sang and played 'Hey Jude' for me on my
sister-in-law's couch threedays into our relationship. She has
horrible stage fright
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6w8bm)

I knew she was the one. Six years later we have a beautiful son
named Jude and its herand I versus the world."
16. The moment he realized he was truly loved."When her car was
damaged in a parking lot while under my care (not at fault) andher
first words to me upon seeing the damage were 'Are you ok?' That
moment
when(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6vsx5)
you discover thewoman you're dating cares more for you than an
expensive inanimate object is themoment you know."
17. When he knew his whole life could be an adventure if they
spent ittogether."We booked a trip to Italy pretty early in our
relationship and [while at the airport]our flight was canceled due
to the volcano in Iceland. We met with a lady who askedus 'Well,
where do you wanna go?' My girlfriend (now wife) turned to me and
said 'Ohmy God, we could see Machu Picchu. You wanna?!?' We had
only been dating a fewmonths at that point, but I told her I loved
her
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6y6wv)inthe
fountain park in Lima ... We just celebrated our 2 year wedding
anniversary lastmonth!"
18. When his S.O. was willing to sacrifice anything to help
him."We were on our way to a dinner thing. I had to stop and get
air for the tires, and itstarted to rain -- hard. She spent three
hours in the bathroom getting ready, and shegot out of the car and
put a hoodie on
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6xyd8),and
held the flashlight for me."
19. He couldn't remember not being in love."I honestly can't
remember a time
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6xh98)I
didn't wantto marry her."
20. When his S.O. became his source of strength."We hadn't slept
in over 36 hours and we were driving down back roads from SixFlags
Great America toward home. We got lost, and when I usually would
get upset orflustered, I was oddly calm
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6wu6i)
with her helpingnavigate. It seemed so significant to me that she
had, just by being there, calmed medown that I knew our
relationship was special."
21. There were no reasons not to love her."My very good friend
at the time asked me, 'Then why don't you marry her?' I
couldn'tcome up with a single reason not to. We just celebrated our
seven year
anniversary(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6xjmi)
today."
22. When even so-called "bad" moments became memories."We were
waiting for the rain to stop
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck72w5d)after
we had finished buying groceries. It was pouring rain, and I
thought itwould be great to run in the rain. I turned to my GF and
was about to ask her whenshe asked me if I wanted to run in the
rain. We walked to the car getting soakedtogether laughing."
23. When all the little moments added up to something
extraordinary."It was not really a single moment
(http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2f7nye/married_men_of_reddit_what_moment_with_your/ck6tkd9)but
a longline of little things that built up to it. She is my best
friend in the world and the mostbeautiful woman in the world to me.
One day I decided I wanted to get married andhave her in my life
till the end. Of course I had a feeling that I would ask her on
dayone but I was in love and thought that after a year or two I
would feel different. Nope.Still love her like the day I met
her."

The 2 stories That Stuck out the most for me were, when the Girl
Drove 5 long HOURSout of town to be with her Boyfriend after his
Dad had Passed; (Priceless) ! 2nd, Wasthe Girl who Spent 3 Hours
getting Ready for their Date, Car Had a Flat tire in the Rain,She
Puts on a hoodie and holds the Flash lite just for him to see;.That
Sealed the deal,and he should have asked her to marry him the Next
Day. No Questions !

This describes me and my husband. 34 years and going strong. I
am still in love withhim. Sure we have had plenty of challenges
along the way, but this man is my soul matefor life and he tells me
everyday he feels the same. We have learned the art offorgiveness
and compromise. Nothing worth having is easy. A word of advice to
newlymarrieds...if you are determined to win every battle, you will
lose your marriage. P.S....Humor, hugs, and compliments for the
little things helps! Think "We", not "I".

We got married at 18 & 22. I was his first girlfriend, he
was my firstboyfriend. Same warped sense of humor, same basic
background (largefamilies, fathers working 3 jobs to pay the bills
when first married, etc.). Wewere best friends. We just celebrated
our 32 wedding anniversary and have5 grown kids. Having a good
sense of humor is vital. And instead of pattingyourself on the back
for putting up with their imperfections, thanking Godevery day that
they put up with yours!

In my case - she had been 'right under my nose' for a while. We
both worked in thesame laboratory for about a year. Was working on
my PhD, she was College Juniorwhen she started working there. I was
dating somebody very seriously - she wasengaged to a former High
School boyfriend and we just spent waaayyy too much timedrinking
waaaayy too much coffee and working late into the night together.
At somepoint she ended her engagement as it wasn't going to work
out, and my then mygirlfriend moved on,....
We started dating a few months later one Summer because - well
we spent all our timetogether anyway and got along,....
I figured out she was 'the one' at a Halloween party later that
year - she claims shefigured it out a few weeks earlier but was
waiting for me to figure it out,.... She was thecutest 'Pirate' I
had ever seen and that was apparently 'It' for me.
That was about 22 years ago,.... our 20th Anniversary is this
October,.....

When I looked to my right and then to my left and no one was
there but this lady right infront of me. It turns out that she too
had the same problem. I am marrying her someday.

Life is a gamble, dating is a numbers game, and 'the one' is
only a reality after the fact(ask anyone who has been married more
than once, I'm sure they thought the first onewas 'the one' when
they decided to get married). I got lucky on my second try
(we'vebeen married now for 38 years), but it was long search, with
a lot of false starts. But thekey is to stay in the game and to use
each 'not the one' as a learning experience (bothabout the other
person and about yourself) so that when 'the one' does come
along,you will know it.

because it is ALWAYS the guy who has to decide on a marriage you
see and the GUYwho has to propose you see...it's only the DIVORCE
that the WOMAN has todecide..gimme a break...mainstream media has
to die soon with all their skewedwriting. try writing unisex and
BALANCED article about relationships...I've never seenone article
about a MAN going through a divorce because apparently MEN get out
onthe other side unscathed..

Rush Ramanee, women quietly and sometimes not-so-quietly
"decide" onmarriage all the time, often way before the man - and
are shot down waymore often, way before it even comes to a
proposal. Yes, it is "ALWAYS"(usually) the guy who makes the final
decision, because women tend to beannoyingly (apparently) more
pro-marriage than men - so the latter calls theshots if anything is
to happen. I'm sorry if your experience has beendifferent, and I
don't believe anyone is unscathed after a marriage - but untilwomen
are paid the same as men for the same work and are rejected
fromcommitted relationships as or less often than men, they will
always receivemore sympathy following divorce.
