Answer 2

My husband and i are very happily married:)
Female
37
about 7 years
happily married
I feel my marriage is successful because we both give 50 50 and love each other where they are at. We also communicate and are totally devoted to each other for better or worse till death do we part. We work at and on our marriage and we love honor and cherish each other. Another key to a great marriage is forgiveness and the main key is to have God as the center of the marriage. We love each other more and more every day and we choose to love and stay in love no matter what. This is what makes the difference. We work through and love even when things get tough and that is what is the glue that holds this marriage together. http://www.marriagetoday.org

5. I think the secret to my happy marriage is that we work as a team and we have things we do together and things we do seperately. We spend a lot of time together and once in awhile, when we start to drive each other crazy, we do our own thing. He takes the boys to the basketball court or our youngest to the movies and I lunch with the girls or play a computer game. It's all about compromise and communication, at least for us.

5) I never want a typical, usual or expected marriage. I want my marriage to ROCK! I never join in with the wives/girlfriends who just jump on the bandwagon to dump on their partners. It just isn't a positive thing for a marriage. I apologize when wrong. I accept apologies graciously. We laugh and tease each other all the time because no one knows us better than each other. We communicate. We're honest: We've been known to just say "You know what? I'm in a funk but want you to know upfront that this has nothing to do with you". That way, the other one doesn't have to worry or fret.

5) Our success comes from learning from all the mistakes we've made in the past, communication, honesty, loyalty Etc.. Our marriage works because we love each other and we enjoy our lives together. Whenever we feel that things are slackin we talk through it and try to find solutions to whatever the problem may be. (it wasn't always that way).. We know that we and we alone hold the key to this marriage so we try to do what we need to do for each other to keep things goin smoothly.
