		<description>Now ask Maggie for her list of what she enjoyed while away and what she missed about you while being away. If you can get an honest answer you&#039;ll learn a lot about her. 

BTW I&#039;ve found that if there is no normal bickering or disagreements between spouses then something is wrong. They may be disillusioned or just don&#039;t care enough about each other to have an opinion.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a lovely, touching well written piece.  You&#039;ve obviously found someone very special in Maggie.  I&#039;ve yet to find someone who I could even remotely imagine living with, but that&#039;s partly because I am very selfish and unwilling to compromise on things like beer drinking, western food, TV and 50 kuai hookers. So all I need to do is find a girl who will let me do whatever I want whenever I want and it&#039;ll be great!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s awesome, man. Although I&#039;m only speaking from experience with girlfriends, I couldn&#039;t agree more about relationships. 
Being with my current gf, I am for the first time realizing how wonderful it is to be with someone who is also such a good friend. 
My ex whor--I mean, girlfriend was so far from that, it boggles my mind that I would have ever put up the a relationship without it.

As for taking that for granted? Oh yes. For example, here I sit thinking about my gf&#039;s awesomeness...alone...commenting 
on a blog rather than telling it to her face! (I should go.)

Cheers to good women.(and their under appreciating man friends who always forget to tell them they are.)</description>
