I have been married twice. First marriage was rough, my friends called it a starter marriage. No kids, just a house and dogs to fight over. My first wife was anti gun, vegetarian, kind of aloof but she was smoking hot. I married her for that reason. I wanted children but she was worried about her figure. After a year we got divorced. The next years were spend dating and having fun. Eventually I met someone that I fell in love with. Now we have children, a home, and she is ok with my political views. We don't agree on everything but we are a team. She was never married before but we courted for 2 years and we just passed 6 years now. What I learned after the first marriage was to find someone that loved me for being me. I love her for being her.
