In Reply to: That would definitely not be enough for me to consider it a marriage. sm - from what you say

in my post is my whole marriage? Geez. And this was a post about gifts, which is not a huge thing for me. I was only speaking about my experiences with my husband on the gift issue.

My husband is my best friend and he is not lame and I do not need him to complete me. I am my own person, but I love being with him. Also, no it is not youth and hormones talking either. We are a team who love each other and are raising a family. Do you really see something wrong with this? If you do, then you are the one with the problem.
