Married ppl. How do you feel about your marriage?

Question

Please note how long you've been married.

Answer 1

We've lived together 10 years married 4. I mostly love it. But like anything else, there are some tough times.

Answer 2

11 long years. The first two was great, we had the excitement of dating and the benefits of being married. The next two, we both matured, sex became less and we started to settle into being married (shared responsibilities, etc.). Then we decided to have a child, excitement came back but totally different. By the 5th year we had gotten to the state of being a married person (no more parties, no more spontaneity, etc.) , 6,7,8 and 9 years into the marriage it started to get boring. 10 years, we decided to have a second baby and realized how much we mean to each other. Now we are beginning to renew our interest in each other, finding time alone and doing something about the "boringness" of our marriage and are doing a good job. I am content and happy at this point. We have never been more financially capable and therefore are now able to afford the little things in life that love for each other can not always replace by saying "as long as we have each other".

Answer 3

Been with him: 6 yrs.
Married: Almost 3 yrs.

It's a hard thing to do be married... If I didn't have kids I would probably no longer be in this marriage, I say for the most part, after some time of marriage you realize the person you are married to isn't the person you married in the first place. It's tough but if you want the relationship to work you have to give and take... Even if you are right tell him he is so he shuts up, otherwise it's an arguement! =0)

Answer 4

I have been with my husband since I was 15. We got married 5 years ago. We are 32 now!!

I love him more than I ever did and we get on great. We never fall out. He still turns me on, makes me laugh and I still love to look at his body.

I think the secret is to have a laugh. We bicker and argue jokingly nearly every day. We dont take anything too seriously.

If we have a problem we tell each other. If we are too scared/embarassed we write a note and leave it to be read.

We have been through a lot: drug addition, infidelity, the loss of a child.

Nothing has broken us. It has only made us stronger.

You get out of a marriage/ relationship what you put in.

Answer 5

I have been married 6 years. I feel that my marriage is a good one. I feel like my marriage is like life. It has it's up and downs but what a ride. That and when I look back I know that I am the happiest now that I am married to my best friend.

Answer 6

7 years overall, and I wouldn't change a thing.

If I expected to be treated like prince charming, or she expected to be treated like Cinderella, we'd both be way off. :)

Like any relationship, there are ups and downs. We've had some really memorable times, and we've spent other times mad.

If you're considering it, my best advice is to marry your best friend - or - someone who you've known forever, and can tell anything to. There's a lot of stereotyping about married people being bitter or "trapped", but that's really for couples who aren't, or can't, be honest with each other. Or instead of getting married because they loved each other enough to make a lifelong commitment to tackle life together, instead got married because they wanted a permanent sex partner, or to please parents, or a pregnancy happened.

Be honest and loyal. If you can't be loyal, at least be honest about it. Don't go to bed mad - stay up all night and figure stuff out.

Marriage takes work, and if you invest into it (give) instead of seeing what you can get away with (get), it makes for a pretty happy household.

Answer 7

Been married for 4 years, third marriage, made almost all the mistakes possible on the first two. I know that I have to make an effort every day to improve myself and our relationship. We are both extremely happy. My advice to anyone who is thinking about getting married is to make sure you do the daily things needed.

Answer 8

I'm 24 (25 in less then 2 months) and my husband just turned 27. We have been married since April of this year and been going out for about 9 months before getting married. We lived in Japan when we were dating, when we got married moved to Honolulu, then in this new chapter of our lives we are moving to his hometown of Toronto.

We are what is known as going through "the first year" and I actually have heard that it is a tough stage. I think couples are all different.
My husband is awesome, and until recently we have truly connected on the same wavelength. He stopped "blocking" the way I felt and he finally put himself in my shoes. I was growing increasingly unhappy in our relationship but had Faith in him from the get go. Despite being hurt over and over again. I think you can tell if someone is worthy or not by weighing out the pros and cons. He definitely had more pros then cons and on my part it was a matter of changing my feelings for him and learning to feel finally secure in our marriage. We both laugh sooo much together and it's neat that we both can grow through eachother and harmoniously.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to express myself! And good luck to you!

Marriage is the greatest, most rewarding experience ever! For me atleast. It's great having a life partner who truly understands you.

Answer 9

this is my third, my husband's second marriage. we've known each other 10 yrs. we've seen what each other has gone thru in our other marriages. we both learned from both sides of those experiences, good and bad. now that we are together, we want our marriage better than either of us ever had, and we know what NOT to do. we make each other feel special every day. we tell each other we love each other a hundred times a day. we hug and kiss every chance we get. my marriage is great. the only thing more i could ask for would be for us to have a child together, and we're working on that...

Answer 10

Great! Been married 1 year, together for 3 years.
