There is such a thing as a good marriage... but few people find one. Close to 50% percent of marriages end in divorce, and most of the couples who stay together are less than happy. It is estimated that about only 10-15% of all couples find true happiness. Surprisingly, a good marriage does not mean no lying - lying is an inherent part of all relationships - it is impossible to be close to someone without lying to them. What does matter is the severity and nature of the lying that occurs. Infidelity is a little different. Only 30 to 60% of all married people will cheat at one point during their relationship. But, again, some couples manage to survive infidelity and have a "good marriage." A good marriage is not one where there are no problems - lying and cheating - but where couples work together as a team to solve problems as they arise. And good marriages are marked by true companionship - a deep enjoyment of the other person for who they are - flaws and all.

Yes, there is such a thing as a good marriage! But how good your own marriage ever will be depends on you and your husband! If both of you are really willing to make it a good marriage, you can do it!
But this is not a one-way-road. Both partners must really want it and must accept, that we are all humans and nobody is perfect. We all make our mistakes in life, including you and your husband. That is the time, when you can prove, if your marriage is truely a good patnership or not!
Just always remember, "in good times and in BAD times", especially in bad times! With enough love and good-will on both sides you can make your marriage a success, something worth to live for!

in this day and age, there is such a thing as ANYTHING. if a public official could steal from its constituents and get away with it, if a person could be lost and floating in the sea and found alive after 7 days, if a person who is dead can suddenly breath in a coroner's table, why is it so hard to believe that two people who are in love with each other and made a vow in front of God and other people to love each other to death, would not lie or cheat?

Yes. But lying and infidrlity aren't the commonest of problems. Most marriages aren't happy because one or both partners have a bad attitude, don't respect one another, don't take time to romance one another, don't display affection, and they don't take time or allow time for their parnter to develop their interests so that they remain insteresting partners over the long haul.
I'd say that the folks who do those things describes about 1-in-10 marriages.

There is no easy recipe for a good marriage. It takes commitment & cummication. A strong believe in God can also be helpful. For Good Marriages check out "Focus On The Family" or "Family Life Today"

It's easy to be cynical about this. There are a lot of unhappy marriages.
But, in our circle of friends, I would say that most are "good" in that the husband and wife are dedicated to each other and their kids, and are able to solve problems and have fun together.
A good marriage takes a lot of work and it isn't happy all the time. But it is rewarding and worth the effort.

Yes, there is. I have been married to the same man for 16 years and we are still going strong. We have had our ups and downs but love always wins. Believe me you have to fight for what you believe in and what you want in your marriage, but if you two truely love one another and your life together you will have a GREAT marriage.

Based on my long term relationships and my friends marriages, I would have to say no. All the women cheated in all these scenarios. I also get hit on(strongly, not subtly) by taken women enough to know to never get married.
My parents had one, but that doesn't count anymore because society(women) has changed a lot since then.
