LOL as if there was anything positive about their relationship LOL!!! That's funnny. I learned a lot about what I didn't want to do or be a part of. And I guess thats something. I suppose I also learned that there is hope, that it can be survived no matter how screwed up it gets. They were terrible, married 18 years and then all of the sudden couldn't manage anything but calling each other horrible names BUT my mom ended up finding a fabulous guy and was happily married to him until the day she died. My dad married a fuss budget and is still with her, I guess he's as happy as he is capable of being.

Some of the positive things I have taken are that marriage is something to work at and to maintain, marriage is suppose to last a lifetime. Once is enough, If we can't get it right the first time then too bad. I don't see a reason to marry several times in a lifetime. I also learned that I don't like the idea of step parents, I feel that my children have exactly two parents and that is it, the others (step parents) never really become as a natural parent. Sure there are some wonderful step parents out there, and many of them are much better than the natural parent ever would be. I am just saying for me they are no good and I would never do that to my children, nor would I ever have any other children with any other man besides my husband, I don't want the fights among my kids as to who's dad is better.....I learned and in a positive way how to make my marriage work and how to instill family values in my children. I learned to love, respect, honor my husband and children, our family!

Respect,love,take care (the couple each other),have both a space (be yourself,have your own personality),and solve problems together and in good agreement,without anger.Never give up when you have a goal.Be always patient,and always listen good to others(the person who is talking with you).Also I learn, that I need always to say thank to people; who help me sometimes. I need to love my neighbour, and my enemies (well that is tough). Do the best you can,and do not worry about nothing,Why?worries will kill you, and the problems for what you are worry; still are there.Be happy everyday,think always positive.My mother pass away,my dad is still alive. They had together a good marriage ,sometimes they discuss something,but little things,they never really fighting. They were living married many years,until my mother die.I took from my mother,that I need to love everybody,from my father I took that I need to help everybody the best I can.Maybe not with money,but with good advice which will make this world a better place for women,children and men.Good,really good question.I took all this positive things from my mother and my dad.I hope this help to you a lot.God bless you every day to you and your family.Have a nice day.

The most positive thing I learned about my parents marriage is how not to run a marriage. They were married 30 years in which 18 of them were unhappy and I'm only 20 years old. I really learned how to be more caring because of it, how to be there for a person, how to compromise, why I should always trust my partner, to always share(emotional and materiallistic things). I learned many valuable things because of their inept relationship.

the most positive thing that i took from my mother and father is the love and respect they have for each other and others, the kindness that they shower on me and the family in good and bad times
that is what i am also enforcing in my life with my son and family.
the honesty and care gives peace in my being and i thank god for
there teachings.....and having wonderful parents....

I always thought they had the perfect marriage because I never saw them argue or fight. Now that I am older, I know they had arguments, but we never saw it as kids. Also, they were very loving, hugs and kisses, to eachother and us kids. We had family prayer every night before bed, read scriptures together, ate dinner together. They were always supportive in any activities we wanted to participate in.
