So, boyfriend and I have flirted with the thought of marriage and kids in the past. Mild teasing, at most. We're both saying "future", though, and today, I got it bluntly: He told me I'd be an amazing wife, and then, he told me I'd be an amazing mum, too. I'm so on cloud nine I can hardly believe it myself!

We're still very young, so no near future is in the talks, but some day... He's thinking the same! This is excellent! The red pill is sweet, my sisters.

Congratulations!!!!!!! What sorts of things do you in your relationship? I'm sure a lot of single women would love the tips, and women in new relationships too :)

Thank you!

We talk a lot. Mostly on Skype, actually, as we don't see each other that much at this point in time. As for me, I've done a ton of work on myself to come out happy out of a dire situation, I help him during his dire situations, I'm employed, can cook, keep an apartment clean, I adore kiddos, etc., so that's it for me as a woman. As a couple, we've had good times and bad times but we've both been constructive. We both think the other person is a mature and kind person you can rely on. We both really enjoy each other's company and consider each other best friends.

I don't think there are specific things we do that did it. Even if there were, my guess is that such things would be different for each couple. It's more about time-tested personality and values, I think. Be a good, fun person with adult priorities and plans for the future, make those plans known (for me, it's being a stay-at-home mum), and have a man who thinks the same.

Oh, and let your caring feminine virtues shine through, always. Shrewdom never leads to a solid relationship, but warm hugs and baking sure do!

My boyfriend-turned-husband told me this our 3rd date, when he took me to the 2012 Olympics in London. I told him that this was early to make this sort of statement, but now he's my husband. A few days ago, he told me he was trying to set my expectations. In other words, if I wasn't serious, I'd have freaked out and left.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
