I am so tired of reading questions about divorce, cheating, abusing, blah, blah, blah. Is there anyone out there who is married and actually happy??
I am very happily married 7 1/2 years and wouldn't change a thing. I am very old fashioned in my marriage and family values. My husband and I share everything. There are no secrets between us. I am a stay at home mom of two kids. I love it. I don't feel like I need to go searching beyond my marriage for anything sexual or physical in any other way. My husband and I have a very good realtionship. We are best friends and eternal companions. We don't control, abuse, or fight. We do everything together and we respect and trust each other. I love him more than any other person on this earth, I wouldn't ask for anything more.
Does anyone out there have a good marriage? Are you happy?
Share your POSITIVE stories! I don't want anything negative!!! I know they are out there. Speak up!!
More marriage, less divorce!!!

I do hav eto admit that being a stay at home mom get a little tough. It definitely test my patience, but I still lvoe it.
My marriage is not perfect, there are hard times, but stick together through everything no matter what. I would never do anything to jeopardize our marriage just because we don't agree on something.
We are in it for the long haul and we work together. Marriage is tougha ndit takes a lot of work, understanding, trust and patience, but I'm in it 100% whole hearted. I don't give up!!!

i think the only reason why all the bad stories are out there is cuz when people are happy, they really have no need for help, or need to share it with the world, but people like to COMPLAIN. whenever something goes wrong, they go out there and tell everyone and either just ask for advice or just need a listening ear. thats why we dont have happy stories out there.

I am married. I love being married. I feel really sad for the couples that type into here and even the newspapers that the women kill or the man harms the kids all for the sake of the marriage because they couldn't find a way out. It makes it tough at times for couples but, I mean if you are truely in love with your spouse, you are going to seek help for them and yourself and not leave or do something destructive to yourself or the other person. I've been married for almost two years and yes our first year was a little difficult but, you know what, we make it work. Together you and your spouse know your likes and your dislikes, you knew your man before you married him and visa versa. If so many people would just stop trying to change a person and work on whats right with the relationship, things may work out for the better. I'm not saying that if your man or spouse beats up on you, you should stay but, get help. Everyone isn't into being a friend first and formost. When you are a friend to your spouse, that committment to them is going to be there no matter what. When they do wrong its going to be that committment that is going to open their eyes and make them see the light. I feel too, you have to faith. A solid strong foundation is going to with stand all the storms that we as humans go through. I got off the subject but, thats how passionate I am about marriage. My husband and I were high school sweethearts and we both married different people but, we kept in touch. We didn't have an affair but, if he came home to Kansas, we would see each other and catch up. We respected each other to much to cheapen the marriages that we were in. Years later we both divorced our spouses not knowing that the other was available. He came back home and we would date off and on and we knew that we should be married but it didn't work out at those times. Then four years ago we reconnected again and this time we knew. My children from my previous marriage just love this man. We are in the works of him adopting them. We are going to open a construction business/real estate. Working as one has its privaleges. I thank the lord for us going through the things that we did go through because it helped us to appreciate one another and the love that we have for one another.

my husband and i have been married very happily for almost a year and a half. we dated for 6 months when i was 16 and he was 18 but we broke it off because he was working 2 jobs and i was working so we didnt have that much time together. 2 years went by and we never talked or even seen each other until one day when i decided to call him out the blue. we have been together almost every day since that day. we were dating for about 4 months when he proposed to me and we found out i was pregnant a week later. we have a very happy marriage and a beautiful son. unlike most young married couples we understand that we must work together and sometimes make sacrifices for the good of our family. i know we will be together for the rest of our lives and i think that is something that is rare today.

I do have a happy story... We got married 7 yrs ago, and have 2 lovely kids. One age 11 (was a single mom-not married with the father) and another one age 3 1/2.. They are great kids, and hubby is the best dad ever. We play ball, and hide and seek, and pijama fights, at nights.
Of course sometimes life gets complicated, the kids get sick and work is boring, but having a nice family is the greatest support.

I am happily married. My husband and I have been together for 15 almost 16 years. There have been a lot of good times and a few bad, but all in all I love my husband and would not change it for the world. He is a excellent provider, father, friend and lover. We have laughed together and cried together and for me the key word is together. I love to her him when he talks about retirement because he never says "when I retire", he always says "when we retire". To me this means that his intentions are to grow old with me and for this I am grateful. We have a great relationship and we are doing our best to keep it that way.

Do you have a faith that you practice regularly? Just wondering if that helps. I have been married almost 3 yrs, but we have been together 7. We have our ups and downs and sometimes I wonder. It is great to hear that someone has a great relationship. Inspiring. I agree we need to hear more.
We do not have any children together, but I have 4 and he loves them very much. I am 9 yrs older than him. Like I said it is not always peachy, but....
