We live in a country where divorce is pushing 60%. Of the remaining 40%, it is said that half of them are unhappy.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. After 5 years we still love each other tremendously. I feel so sad that so many don't think before getting married and have misearble lives together.

I, too, consider myself to be fortunate. My husband and have been married for 8 years. He is a successful lawyer and I am a
college instructor.
Our careers are very demanding but yet we make our
relationship a priority. We believe in committment and we even "make dates" to see one another when things get hectic at work.
Marriage takes quality time and a great deal of effort to make it last.

Well looky here 40% of the population all gathered here to congratulate you the other 60% are sitting at home hissing at you for your good fortune . I'm a married guy and have been for 17 years and I love my lady but in all truth not as I once did . The passion is less from her and a strong and mutual friendship is what is left .I would still give my life to save this woman and all of our children but Love does change with the years and people cant adjust to that , only those that can will remain together

I am happy for you. I hope your commitment to your wife is as strong many years from now as it is today. My husband and I have been together over 22 yrs and although we have gone through a lot, to include an affair he had, I at one time heard the same words you said above. I would have put my life on the line because I knew he loved me more than his own life. People change and things happen but the respect and love for each other do not have to change. Love her and Cherish her everyday. Do not allow the world to influence you nor change you. Temptation will come into your life. Push it away. Do not allow a few minutes of fun to ruin your marriage. I know my husband wishes he could undo the damage it caused. Time heals all wounds..or so they say..My advice to your wife..love your husband..Cherish and respect him. You too do not be tempted b words or looks other men will give you..those are only moments..stand faithful by your man and love him more everyday. Love each other more and more everyday and I know many years from today, both of you can still say you love each other immensely.

my wife and I have been married 10 years. My wife and I both worship the ground that we walk on I worship the ground she walks on and and I know she worships the ground I walk on. You have only been married 5 years you have not been past the 7 year itch or as my cousin once said the 7th inning stretch. My life would be over if anything happend to my wife no lie

My husband loves me just as much as that. More! :-)
He's the greatest guy in the world and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him!
It's not so much luck as it is a commitment to being a good spouse, and truly honoring your marriage vows. For some couples, Love honor and cherish seems to fade when the reception ends.

I feel the same way. I am a hopeless romantic & have never changed my mind about the man I have been with for 7 years. Others have come & gone, seemingly trying to wreck it for me. I stay true to my heart. If you listen to other things besides your heart, you'll just find heart-ache.
