text: how long have you been with your partner? and what do you love about them? i've been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years and he makes me laugh, he's my best friend! i have been with my wife for 14 years.  we will be married 12 years this august.  we have had our share of problems, but what i love about her most is her conviction and desire to keep our marriage alive and strong.  it has not been easy for her at times during the years dealing with me, but she loves me very much and perseveres knowing that our love is a good one.      even though i do not tell her enough, she really is a beautiful woman, and my best friend, knows everything about me, and yet, she still loves me.  i almost lost her at one point and i hope that i can work out my problems so i never chance that again.
