I have been married for 48yrs, going into our 49th. am I happy you ask,I am very happy with my husband, we have had our ups and downs but, we have preserveered with any problems we have had. We have seven kids all married, with families of their own, and fourteen grandchildren, with one great grandaughter. You also ask if we make love in a mo. I guess, that is private concerning our age, we are, older then middle age. My husband still works and I enjoy taking care of him with his uniforms pressed and always having his meals on the table when he comes from work. We love each other deeply, and I don't know what I would do when he no longer is at my side. As they say we are no spring chickens. Have a Merry Christmas, and a very happy new year, are my wishes to you and yours.

I have been married 7 years. My husband does special things for me all the time. He can be a bit lazy at times but he realizes soon enough that he needs do his share of the work. We are affectionate very often. We kiss and hug daily but after seven years we do not hang on each other constantly. We average about twice a week love making. But that always depends if we had a busy week. Things do change after being married after such a long. Things are not always happy because living together can get stressful. Things are never perfect in Life. But you make the best out of it.
Try to make you're Partner feel loved with little gestures.Nothing expensive for me.A small Note that says I love you, can make my day. But I think gestures are very important in a marriage, for man and woman. May be get him a six Pack of beer..watch a action movie with him. For her get her some Take out and get a Movie she would enjoy. May be help her extra with homework.

It depends on what you considered married I suppose. My husband and I married in 1986 and were divorced in 1994. We were reunited in 2001 and have been happy since, as if we were never divorced. We haven't remarried, but refer to each other as husband and wife. We don't have a lot of sex, he works two jobs and is usually pretty tired, but we try to have sex at least twice a month. We are very affectionate otherwise and are not a habit couple. We are a pair, we do everything together and talk about everything together. I buy him the things he likes, like tools and a Harley, he works his second job to pay for the Mini Cooper he bought me. We understand each other and accept each other for all our faults and shortcomings. We also see in each other the perfection we want in a mate. I could kick myself for taking 8 years to grow up and figure out he was the man I've always wanted.

I have been married for 11 years and I have never been as happy as I am now with the relationship. Our sex life is outstanding and we enjoy each other most if not all the time. The times we may find disagreement is with something silly with the kids, but its never an argument. Instead of making time for our individual selves, like many marriage counselors may suggest you do, we make time for each other and I wouldn't have it any other way. Making an investment in your spouse is the most important thing you can do in your marriage (before the marriage actually). NEVER talk down to one another and ALWAYS communicate in a way that is mutual. Invest in each others needs and likes and MAKE the time for one another. I can't emphasize that enough! Affection is extremely important MEN! If you don't know how to be affectionate then you need to learn. Best way to learn? Let your wife teach you:-) She knows what makes her feel loved and wanted...DO IT!
Good luck everyone! Marriage is for life. So, make it the best life possible:-)

Nine years--some better than others. Sometimes we're in a rut and it's a little like living with a roommate (we both have careers and a child and sometimes we're just not each other's priority), other times things are like they were when we first got married. Of course we're not always happy, we're human. We have bad days, and we fight, but the good days outnumber the bad. Everything fluctuates, even sex. We do try to do special things for each other, we try to buy each other thoughtful presents, make the other's favorite dinner, go on vacations together, and all of that helps. Best of luck to you! If you have real concerns, talk to him/her, go to counseling if you need to...but lulls are not abnormal. You can't sustain that kind of crazy energy you had for each other in the first year or two forever!

I've been married for 3 1/2 years. Yes, we are still happy. Of course we have our hard times as everyone does, but we were made for each other. He is my best friend. We make love about 3 times a week except for when I'm on my period then I pleasure him. And some weeks more and some weeks less, but an average of 3 times a week.

7 years in Feb. My husband is perfect. I am blessed to not have to work. A lot of times he kicks me out of the kitchen after dinner and cleans it for me. He does laundry if I get behind with it.
(there are 4 kids in the house 3 his, 1 mine, I always have laundry!) He's more of a one dog guy, but he has let me get 2 cats in our 7 years. And recently, it was agreed that when all of our animals are gone, (passed on), I could get a Yorkie. But about 2 weeks after that was said, he told me to go get one. The man spoils me in every way. I can't believe our 7 year anniversary is coming up, it still does seem like yesterday. A very generous lover, I always tell him he should write a "how to" book for men. I am the luckiest girl in the world! By the way... our moms worked together and thought it would be nice to introduce their kids. At first neither one of us was interested. I wasn't ready to meet anyone, I was enjoying being a single mom, but that all changed when she brought home a picture and the rest is history!! :-)

Been married for 22 going on 23 years.
We do special things for each other.
Always happy, but at times get angry (I am human)
We're both affectionate, holding hands and that sort of thing still.
Still strong in the personal agenda; actually very strong in the personal area and in the beginning you could've nicknamed us Flounders.
Considering we married in a rush job not all Muslims marry this way, I believe that is pretty good and my marriage is truly blessed.

I have been married for alomost 10 years. I am still happy. We have ou ups and downs. Marriage is not perfect. We have sex alot when we are not fighting. when we do fight/argue, Sex slows down.
Affection is not always sex. Affection can be verbal as well. Telling your partner you love them is showing affection. communicating is affection especially when youask your partner, "Hi, How are you? Are you ok?"
Just remember how you two first met. Alot of things go on in life and we deal with alot of stress or we are just too occupied of work, paying bills, etc. that at times we lose touch of thee things that are valuable.
Sounds like you are unsure of being happy. I am happy no matter what the outcome is at my own home. I still love my wife no matter what.
Special things should be something creative that you and your partner will enjoy. It goes both ways.

I have been married for 11 years. I am still happy. He still brings home little things for me. A card or chocolates or a flower. Sometimes, I think everyone gets in the habit stage. I am not always happy if we argue. I have learned you have to work on a marriage and one is never going to perfect.
