The Mate Meme

I really liked this meme from our Meme Queen.

The Mate Meme

1. Who is your mate?
My husband, Thomas

2. How long have you been together?
We have been married for 20 years and six months; we were engaged for 9 months before that and dated for two months before we were engaged.

3. How long dated?
Two months  (engaged for 10 months so we could have a June wedding)

4. How old is your mate?
47

5. Who eats more?
It's probably about the same.  He stays pretty trim and has a physically demanding job, so if he does eat more it doesn't show.  (And he really loves my cooking!)

6. Who said "I love you" first?
He did.

7. Who is taller?
He is.  I'm only 5 feet tall, so most people are taller than I am!

8. Who sings better?
I have to say I do.  He has a good voice, but I have a better ear for pitch and key.

9. Who is smarter?
There is no way I'm touching that one! lol  We are both smarter about different things.  We compliment one another very well.

10. Whose temper is worse?
His.

11. Who does the laundry?
I do.

We all do.

I do.

He earns the money, and I make the payments.

 

15. Who has bigger feet?
He does.

16. Who has longer hair?
I do.

17. Who is better with the computer?
I am.

18. Who mows the lawn?
Eler Beth and I do, because we actually enjoy it, and Thomas and Andrew hate it.  But Thomas does all the trimming.

19. Who cooks dinner?
I do.

20. Who drives when you are together?
Either of us.  It's about equal.

21. Who pays when you go out?
He does.

We're pretty equal there, too.

25. Who kissed who first?
He instigated our first kiss, but I was a willing participant.

26. Who asked who out?

He did.  Actually only after two weeks of dating he said he was pretty sure he wanted to marry me, but I made him wait a bit longer. lol  And then he properly, formerly proposed a couple months later.

28. Who is more sensitive?
I am.

29. Who has more friends?
He does!  He knows and is liked by EVERYBODY he meets, practically, and he is really a lot more social than I am, but I probably have more CLOSE friends, and I probably actually KNOW more about my friends than he does about his.

30. Who has more siblings?
He does, barely.  There are 9 children in his family, and there are 7 in mine.

31. Who wears the pants in the family?
He does.  (But occasionally he lets me get in them {{wiggling eyebrows here}}})
