Sometimes everything that glitters, isn't always gold.

@April. Why are you so angry? I must have touch a sore spot. If you don't like the question, don't answer. Thanks for your rude response.
Thanks for all the people who answered with some intelligence.

I very much enjoyed the marriage I was in for 33 years. My wife died in a car accident in 2000, at the age of 49. She was my life, my best friend, and my lover. Every day with her was like being on our honeymoon. I wish more people could know the kind of love I knew!!

First of all, we have a lot of common interests; things we enjoy doing together.
Second, we "like" as well as "love" and "lust" for each other. We enjoy just being together; we don't have to be occupied.
Third, we respect one another and support one another. We're a team; it's us against the world.
If you've got love, lust, and respect, most everything else falls into place.
The marriages that go down the toilet are the ones where one (or both) of the partners aren't emotionally mature enough to live with another person harmoniously.

Since this is anonymous I am going to tell the truth. I deeply love my husband, but he is quite narcissistic and mean. He speaks down to me all the time and calls the kids mean names instead of focusing on correcting the bad behavior. I am not happy. His new job sends him out of town and out to dinner with females and others. His co-workers and him drink alcohol excessively. I am hanging in there until I can get back on my feet. I have been married for 12 years and I am miserable.
Don't give up on the idea of marriage though, I married too young and didn't get counseling for being emotionally abused and neglected as a child.

I have my moments. My husband and I are 10 years apart, before I got married, I didn't think that it mattered, but now I see that it does. I'm bored out of my mind. I'm lonely alot. I have a daughter so she keeps me pretty busy. I also do things outside of the house to entertain myself, but it just isn't the same as sharing it with the one you love. I go to the movies alone, and dinner too sometimes. My husband is a great guy. He's funny, smart, and very loving. He's just older and it shows.

I truly love my husband and enjoy the time we spend together as a married couple. I'm not saying that we always agree on everything or that we don't have our "moments", but my marriage puts a joy in my life that I didn't have as a single person.

My husband and I have had our hard times but I love him more than I did when I first met him. We have only been married almost 3 years but I cant see myself ever being with anyone else. He tries to do whatever he can to make me happy and vis versa. I know we will always be together.

Honestly, I love the family life, but the marriage sucks. It hasn't always been that way, though, and hopefully that will change. I'm not holding my breath, though.
Oh, yes I do love her...I'm just not happy anymore and the relationship is quite unfulfilling to me.

Very much. I have a great relationship. We have no kids, which may help. Since we are best friends, travel companions, trust and love each other and have great sex. Marriage is wonderful.

I enjoy my marriage a lot. It may not glitter, but it's gold to me.
