we met when we were 13, we didn't have sex until 17, and let me tell u, even after having 2 children our sex life is fierce. i feel like i'm alone because all the couples i know are sick of their partners, talk about the arguments, their bored or their partners don't want to have sex often. why do people choose to live this way

My husband and I met at 15, became a couple at 17, got married at 19, and we're now 25 and as happy as ever! I often feel the same way: that other people can't find someone they want to be with long term, or they have a lot of fights, or they can't resolve their desire to be with other people.
I don't know why long term, happy relationships are so rare, but I feel tremenously lucky!
I believe that part of what makes us connect so well is that we were friends first, and we're able to share everything. Other people seem to dislike the idea of dating their friends, because it would "ruin the relationship", or if it didn't work out, they'd be losing a friend. I think they're missing out!
Also, a lot of people stay in less-than-ideal relationships because it feels a lot safer than breaking up and being single and having to date again. And sometimes it's hard to see how to fix a relationship that has gone downhill. I'd like to think that if I needed couple counselling, I'd go for it.
Part of the solution is honesty and openness. We have no secrets, and nothing to hold grudges about. If one of us is upset, we say so, and things get sorted out quickly and easily.
In any case, go you for being so lucky! =)

It's so awesome when you find the right one. My partner and I will be celebrating our 10 years together by getting married in canada. I adore her. I'm glad I didn't settle for one of those boring relationships where people lead separate lives.
Here's to the good life! It's nice to know someone else in this world has a long term relationship that is the way it should be!

First I have to say that I find it quite sad that many folks on here assume that because you have a succesful relationship you are a liar. Second, you aren't alone :) My partner and I have been together 8 years with no end in site. We both made the mistake in the past of staying in relationships that were not 'happy'. I think it makes us all the more appreciative of what we have now... and all the sadder for folks who haven't made it this far.

Jonathan and I have been together for 15 years (the 2nd of January was our anniversary) I don't think our sex was ever fierce, but we certainly have had and continue to have good sex. We also love each other very much. I would post a pic if there was a way to (just of us, NOT of us ... er... doing anything).\
Be in peace and enjoy your life,
Reyn

I know many gay couples who have been together for over 20 years and only been in a couple of relationships. Most of my gay friends have been in a relationship for over 5 years.
From the way I see it, most gay men will mature at some time to want a relationship, and when they find someone else who wants the same they stick with them from then on happily together. Maybe thats why we're called 'gay'?

I don't know - i have only been married to my husband for 7 years and it feels like we just go together - I hope that I can have the same relationship with my husband after 15 years. Congrats - and I don't know how he can be the sexiest man, when my husband is!! :)

I don't think anyone chooses to live that way...it's just how it is, I guess, and some people don't want to take the time to work things out or at least consider what may be wrong...
I'm happy for you and wish you and your husband all the best!

I feel the same way about my wife of 16 years. We're in our 40's but everyone thinks we're in our early 30's. She works out and runs and is more beautiful now than when we met.
I still find her to be the hottest woman on the planet!
