Main thing to make it work: COMMUNICATION. Talk to each other. don't let small things become huge things. Tell each other about whats going on in your life, how you feel, if your happy, what you like. don't forget to mention the positive things, not just the things that don't go right. And make sure despite the kids that you have time for each other. Go to a restaurant every now and then, have fun together, have some quality time as husband and wife. It is not neglecting the kids for they will have happier parents in return, for you get a chance to recharge and reconnect. All the best to the both of you!

My husband and I will be married 10 years in Sept. I agree most with Kathy. It's all about communication and respect. You will love more than one person in a lifetime but a relationship that lasts is built on trust and respect. If you have that and can talk things out, everything else falls into place. Don't play games and treat each other like you would like to be treated.

I've been married for 36 years. There are good times as well as bad times. When you get married it's because your in love and your wedding vows say for better or worse. Take that serious, and above all DON'T CHEAT! Nothing ever stays the same so when bad times come just be strong and know that these things shall also pass. And they always do.

21 years and going but it aint free sailing yet. Kids grow up and then what's left in common for a couple that have had problems all along. We are not physcially abusive but I don't like the name calling and such. For me life is short, make the best of what you have and play your hand. I would never be one to divorce and remarry. Never have children just to "help" fix a problem or things will get worse. Learn to mast*rbate because the lovin will drop and sometimes for long periods of time.

this question is hard to solve for me coz iam only 18, but i think its always about being a loving woman and just allowing ur husband to take control over alot of things in this relationship, plus don't ever keep him away from his children, i mean just let him raise them with u.. and the relationship should be constructed on love and trust.

I have been married for 30 years in August. My answer is love and trust. Also marry for the right reasons. (not sex it seems to slow down after marriage) My wife and I have allot in common and also allot we do separately. I let her do things that I won't do and she lets me do things alone that she don't want to do. Stay loyal to each other.

We learned how to spell, for starters. We just faced everyday as a new day. Then we got up and did another day. One day at a time. How old are you?

All of the above, plus don't look to him to make you happy, lower your expectations and expect tricky times.
