I am very happily married. We talk - it all comes down to that. Just talk, anything, everything, just talk.

I have been happily married for 30 years. When we first got married, a friend gave me a book. In the book was a quote I will never forget. It said, "If your want to be treated like a king, you must treat her like a queen". We decided early on that divorce was a option that would never be considered in our marriage. We still hold hands when we walk together. We have four wonderful children together and now we have two grandchildren. I told my daughter when she got married to always support her husband in his endeavors. If he wanted to raised pigs in the attic, she should go out and buy him a ladder and a pig trough. She could also start praying that God would give him a different idea, but don't dash his hopes. Also, marriage must be based on a moral foundation to last. Also, we still celebrate the anniversary of our first date, and the anniversary of our engagement. Don't forget the small things.

I am happily married. The biggest thing to keep marriage going is the memory of how much you love each other. When you're arguing, just remember all the things your spouse has done for you and how much you have invested in your marriage. And try to always understand how your spouse is feeling. If you don't make the effort, don't expect him to.

Yes! Honesty, communication and we are eachothers best friend. We don't go out with out one another b/c neither of us want to, we would not be happy doing that and it causes problems. It is important to be able to talk to your spouse about everything! and I mean everything even about sex even if you would like to have sex with someone else, it should be that open and honest, be mature and have an open mind everyone has there ups and downs but even the downs can make a marriage stronger. Trust just falls into it when you have all the other stuff.

I am happily married. We always joke around, that is a must, I could never be married to an anal duchebag that can't take a joke. Talking is important, but we don't have to talk a lot. Men don't like it when their wives b*tch all the time, I used to but now I just feel like it's a waste of time.
Don't lie or cheat.
Always be giving, but the giving goes both ways.
We are best friends!!

Yes- for over 5 years- 4 children- we almost lost it all recently. I believe when you are married sometimes it can be taken for granted. It takes a lot of work everday. It's not easy everyone knows that. However, if your love is completely real you have NOTHING to worry about... just hold on. Love is stronger than anything you can ever imagine. Start with being completely honest about how you feel and go from there.

ME! I Love my spouse of 10 years and have a great relationship with him. We spend a moderate amount of time together and have excellent communication. Play time is as important to us as work time, we try very hard to make our time together enjoyable. The rewards for me believe it or not come when I can iron his clothes, make him a meal, get up with him when he gets called out for work late at night, or do something around our home so he doesn't have to worry about it! The pay off, he is always trying to do things that he knows will make my day a little brighter, he sends me love letters, he sends me flowers, he tells me I am beautiful and how lucky he is to have me for a wife.He is right about one thing for sure the luck part, it is me who is the lucky one! How is that for happily married!

I am very happily married. We spend quality time together and talking about lots of things such as like and dislikes and even hypotheticals.
1)We both never hold grudges.
2)Every married couple gets angry, frustrated or irritated at times. He gets mad at me and might yell, but I just let it role off. I might snap back at him on occasion but that is only if I think he is not listening to my point of view.
3)Our fights never last but just a few minutes and we never go to bed angry.
4)We never get personal with each other and call each other names.
