Answer 1

We have a pretty steady marriage but no marriage is perfect at all times because no two people are perfect that are in it. Marriage takes work devotion and care. And you must work at it to make it successful and last. Marriage can be heaven on earth if you treasure it and make it top priority in your life. I have seen Jimmy and Karen Evans series the Rock Solid marriage and i love it. It has taught me alot and my wife loved it too. In the beginning i got weak and did things on the internet i am not proud of but my wife was a very forgiving person and a praying wife and we worked through it together and now are stronger then ever. I love my wife more and more every day. Marriage is what you make of it. The more work and time and dedication you put into your marriage the better it will be but if you dont put the time and dedication into your marriage it will fall apart and it will be sad and not happy.

Answer 2

Marriage is hard work. Its like two business merging. You try to bring all the good things from each side, to this merger (marriage)The dating part is a breeze. Everyone is impressing everyone. But when you finally say "I do"... then you start getting around to all the don't. Some marriages don't make it through the honeymoon stage where some last a life time. I haven't decided if there is a formula for an eternal marriage, or if the couple just lacks the energy to get out of it. I have been married 3 times. I was married right out of high school the first go around. It lasted 7 years. My second marriage, lasted 24 years. And #3, the supposily "charm" thing is going on 14 months. My second and third husband are the same man. He had a mid life crisis, and sowed his oats, found out it wasn't the same world it was when he use to be single. Before we remarried, we brought all the luggage to the arena, and fought out every problem from the past. It was a caged match, meaning no holds bar, all problems would be worked out to each others satisfaction. People around us, wonder why the "he!!" are these two getting back together, they are fighting like 2 pitbull dogs, locked up. But that was the thing that saved us. It had gotten to the point in our marriage, we had so many unresolved problems, that every time we had an arguement, it turn into a world war, fighting over 24 years of unresolved battles. We had issues that were never layed to rest, all the way back to our 1st year together. Now, once a problem is resolved, it has been buried. We agreed, we will never bring it up again, its history. The one thing that we both agreed on, was how much we loved each other. I guess it would be safe to say the ground foundation of our first marriage was totally intact, although the rest was patched together like a quilt. This past year, since we remarried, feels so much better than ever before. If every married couples could actually fight their problems all the way thru and lay them to rest, I honestly believe marriages would work. But there doesn't seem to be many fighters into days time. One thing goes wrong, and "POOF" the marriage is dissolved. I was told by a very wise woman once, "Any thing worth having is worth fighting for." "Here, Here"!!!

Answer 3

No one is perfect and nothing is guaranteed. If both people are faithful and everything else is good I would say the marriage is as "rock solid" as it can be. I have seen couples that are faithful for a lifetime and "rock solid." I've also seen people have affairs and get divorced after over 30 years of marriage. If a person's heart becomes "rock solid" (cold) a marriage won't last.

Answer 4

I do have a "rock solid marriage". We have been married for 11 years and we are happier now than we were the day we married! Have we had some problems? Yes, I think every couple has their ups and downs but we never did get too angry with each other. We have always stressed talking to each other about our feelings. Being honest and open with each other.
My wife is my best friend, my confidant, my lover and my everything. She is my sun that keeps me happy, safe and warm.
Good question

Answer 5

No I don't believe we have a rock solid marriage. We have had problems and are having problems now. We have been married for 38 years. We don't talk. He ignores me. He walks into a room and doesn't say a word to me. I don't know what to do or if I even want to try.

Answer 6

it is true when they say it is all about comm, but the catch is trying to get a man to talk about feelings. i have been married 7 years and the first thing we had to do was get comfortable with that. he had a hard time trusting me with them and i as well. dont be judgemental, and feelings are not wrong or right, just like opinions. once that trust is there others follow.

Answer 7

I would say 1 out of 100,000,000,000 marriages are strong and sturdy. That is of course given a day or two after the honeymoon.

Answer 8

No we had problems and still have problems I don't think that will change because I am comfortable with my ways
