15 years with my wife and while it has not been all roses we love each other and both make sacrifices for each other.
I read the question you posted after this one. I know that sometimes you worry about taking that big step as you get comfortable in the current relationship, even with all the faults.
Dont be frightened, if there is only one thing that makes everything worthwhile it is being loved as much back as what you give.
Get out and dont look back, you may spend some time alone but you wont be alone forever. And next time remember what you have learned this time and dont be afriad to walk away at the beginning of a relationship if it does not suit go.

MARRIAGE IS THE HARDEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO! That was the advice on my wedding day, 9 years ago, from a woman who had been married 51 years with 5 kids. It is true. Marriage takes a lot of work, time, and investment. All too often people think of marriage like breathing, coming naturally. Truth is, marriage is like building a house in the hot heat of summer in Africa. Takes a lot of sweat, some blood, and knowledge to get it done right. When the house is built, then you can both really enjoy it. By the way, it takes a long time to build that house. Also don't forget about communication and sharing. If you don't share all the responsibilities and communicate about everything, good and bad, then what's the point of being together. Things can only get better as long as you share and communicate!

Totally happy with the marriage of over 17 years. Because it is normal in any relationship, things have not always been rosy, but that's part of the package when you marry, and both are committed to work things out.
We love each other even more than before - that just comes with learning more and more about the person every single day you are together. My heart still tugs when I get the last kiss in the morning, until we are in each other's arms at the end of the workday.
My son, now 14, said it best to me last year. He and I are usually together in the living room when my husband comes home from work. My son once explained to me that I should see how much my husband's eyes light up as soon as he sees me when he comes in the door - that was very special that our child should notice this!

We have been together 19 years on 24th October and married for 14 years. We have had some huge ups and downs but we are still together and I'd like to think, quite happy. We just have the one daughter (5 years old) and feel like we are a complete family. I was 16 when we met and hubby was 20.

I have been married for 7 years and I'm not happy. I have been happy for all 6 years but at the end of this time I started to realize that I'm not! But I think this is because we - human beings - are too greedy and get bored of what we already have in possession, we are always looking for some new feelings and get tired of old ones.

we were actually going to take a break last wk, but decided against it incase it wasted our relationship. instead we went out for a nice meal and to the cinema, and worked out our differences. If you asked me this question last week, i would have said no, i want happy. Now you ask, and yes, im a lot more happier than last wk, i feel just the scare of a break made me appreciate and realise how much i love him.
We have been together nearly 4 yrs and have a beautiful daughter

I think you can only be as happy as you want to be. I have been in a relationship for nearly 13 years now. It has it's up's and down's. What is for certain, as you get older you begin to see things differently. I guess you can only be truely happy when you are able to creat your ideal partner and as this is not possible, you just have to get on with it!

I have been with my husband for 6 years but married 1 1/2. I am so happy being married to him. He does everything to make me happy and there is nothing that could take our love away from eachother.
