What do posters think? Is it better to date or marry another swimmer than a non-swimming athlete or non-athlete? Does it lead to discord or harmony? Too much couple competition? Or more understanding when you want to go to practice or meets all the time? Is swimcest the best?
I notice Cruise married a swimmer ... and we know about Muppet ...
The money thing is interesting. My grandparents told me one thing when I got married. "There's no mine and yours...just ours....otherwise it won't work."
My wife and I have taken the exact opposite tack: we keep our money separate. Yeah, we both contribute to the common household expenses, but then we can spend or save our discretionary income however we see fit without the other person questioning it (much, anyway :)). I'm not going to say it's perfect, but it works pretty well.
