I figured it would be interesting/ enlightening to hear from users who have found happy relationships in modern society and how they met. I know how much we love to make hating posts on the stupidity of modernity, but posts from guys that have successfully found stable relationships despite the cultural zeitgeist is just as important/ informative.

I met my wife when I was doing a network class, she was an assistant. I was oblivious and she liked me. She asked me out to the movies. Now married with kids and we are still doing great.
She is a Christian, I was agnostic at the time. I had an absurd of me-time that I gave up. I was kind of lazy and liked going out for drinks with friends way to much. I have no idea why she put up with me early on.
What made us work so far is going thru hard times together, we did not have much money but we managed to get a house that was in a bad condition, we struggled for a long time, I had to fix a lot of stuff myself - I was not good at it and it turned out less then perfect but we both prefer it that way now. The first kid was a shock to both of us, it was hard to adapt to having a kid but we pulled thru it together.
We both work now and that is less then perfect for the kids but it is what it is. We both get involved with the kids, and every important decision we take together, we're also trying to be open and honest to each other. We do argue sometimes and had rough patches. Another thing that helped was seeing other couples and realizing we are doing great by comparison, made us appreciate each other more.
