Answer 1

Been married 5 yrs and still cant wait till she gets home, most days there is a lot of laughter, alot of cuddling, and alot of sex

Answer 2

My husband and I have been married 9 years and I admit, this past year has been a tiny bit of a struggle. Marriage takes work, a lot of it, and you can never, ever take your spouse for granted.
We make sure to have "date night" every week. Sometimes dinner & a movie, sometimes just walking in a park and talking with each other. These dae nights are imperitive to our good relationship. We need to stay connected and make time for each other.
You should be proud and thrilled to have been married to the same woman for 23 years. In this day and age that is quite an accomplishment. It is perfectly normal to feel the way you do. Honeymoons don't last forever. The nitty gritty basics of marriage take its toll after awhile. What you do need to remember is that it never is too late to rekindle your marriage and put a spark in your marriage again.
There is a wonderful book "1001 Ways to be Romantic" by Greg Godek.
He has super ideas on how to romance your spouse. Music, movies, romantic getaways, poetry, and simple acts of love that don't cost a dime.
Read the book. Share it with your wife. Get those Honeymooon feelings back again.
A good solid marriage is more more than all the jewels in the world.

Answer 3

I have been married for 37 years now and Aim just getting started, God hoping. We are doing much better today than we ever have, as far as loving each other goes, and in every department. We dated for 5 years and found out that we were made for each other. We do not go 50/50 on things as is taught out in the world to keep a marriage together-we give it 100%. We raised 3 children and now have one grand child and live by ourselves. Now that we are retired we are finally having the time of our lives, because we worked very, very hard to give our kids the best of everything, and we did. Now that we are 59 we can share the time we did not have when we were taking care of our kids and working so hard. We do not regret anything we did and we would do it again if given the chance. One thing you both must know is that there is no room for selfishness in a marriage. When one falls down the other must help to lift the other up and do 100% of the work until it is necessary. You must both respect each other and love each other as yourself, for your God commands this of both of you. The man and the woman must respect their positions in the marriage in order to keep it going well. It is not a normal thing to see a marriage loosing strength, you should both talk this over and find out what the problem is and then work at it together.....God bless.....KECK

Answer 4

I have been married almost ten years and I love my wife. I think what brings and keeps couples together is adventures and adversity. If your life is a-ok with your wife and you guys don't really have any problems to speak of ... the create some adversity through adventure. What I mean is try doing more things together, something will always go wrong, always!
So whatever the adversity car ran out of gas, forgot the matches to light the fire on the camping trip, these little adversities will bring you closer together. these are thing you will remember for years to come.

Answer 5

Marriage is a full time job.
You must make it a priority to keep it alive.
Bailing out isn't an answer in a world where it has a 50% mortality rate.
Go to the library and get books on the subject.
The best thing you can do is date night.
Every Friday night(or what ever night works for you) go out to a movie-go talk one on one in a coffee shop.
Date your wife like you did 23 years ago.
See your wife like you did 23 years ago.
She really is the same person.

Answer 6

My parents have been married for 35 years this Sept. and they have a great relationship. Do you give her a kiss everynight and say I love you and mean it? My Dad does really nice things for my Mom once in a while. If she mentions she would like to have something, he'll secretly go out and buy it(within reason of course). He buys her flowers for no reason. I hope I have that type of marriage. My husband and I have been together for 13 years, married for 7. He makes me laugh everyday and I can't imagine my life without him.

Answer 7

I have been married for 11 years, I love to spend time with my husband! I believe marriage is forever and it is a full time job. I think about him all the time, absolutely love to talk to him, hang out with him (even if I'm not into what's he's doing) just to be together. I have truly found my sole mate. Find the passion again

Answer 8

I have been married for 6 years together for 11....Its natural for it to slow down i think...Maybe try a new hobby together or take a weekend apart....I find that absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder....We i feel we are getting slow i usually take a fishing trip with our daughter. when i get home a few days later she has enjoyed the time to herself and we have missed each other. when i walk in the door i remember why she is my best friend and love of my life.

Answer 9

I think that about 20% of all the couples that have been maried actually stay together. I think that you should try taking her to some place were she loves to go, but has not in a very long time to spark up the relationship. Goodluck!!!!!

Answer 10

not sure what you consider a long time, but we've been married 10 yrs, and if possible, stronger than ever. Are you able to spend much time together? maybe try taking a class together or something to talk about like that... good luck!
