Who's Married and Loving It?

Question

I mean married for better or worse...warts and all, marriages that are time tested with a few bumps in the road behind you.

What's your secret?

Whoa, look at all the happies!! Way to go yall! I hope someday I am as happy and supported as you all are.

I don't mean to encourage you life partners out there, gays/lesbians that are as married as you can be to your special sugar booger.

Oops meant to say DIScourage. Same sexers tell me your relationship secrets too! It's got to be hard for ya.

Answer 1

36+ years for us, and it's been a great journey.

Have we had some low points and dark moments? Of course. All relationships have them. It's how you deal with them that makes all the difference.

Interesting that a lot of folks talk about the divorce rate, not realizing that it's a matter of record - unlike all other trashed relationships that aren't recorded.

The key, of course, is that too many people lack the emotional maturity to live with anyone for the long term. They lack a sense of sympathy, forgiveness, respect and compromise.

We're all human, and we all makes mistakes. What matters is ~ do we forgive and forget? Do we learn from the mistakes? Do we pick ourselves up and move on, or do we hold things over someone else's head forever? Do we carry unnecessary regrets in our backpack?

Is married sex some of the best on the planet? You better believe it. Is it great to know that you have someone committed to supporting you through a rough period? Absolutely.

Before anybody considers getting married, they should take about a year to get to know one another and discuss all their important issues: sex, money, religion, philosophy, politics, career, etc.

When you find someone you love, and you eventually decide you want to spend your life with them, then...marriage is a minor detail at best. It's not the ring, the license or the vows that are keeping you together.

It's the love.

Answer 2

I was married once before for 6 1/2 years. Which was actually about 6 1/2 years to long. I had been divorced for almost 7 years when I met my hubby now.

I never ever knew that love was supposed to feel like this. He truly cherishes me. He doesnt even h ave to say anything. I can see it in the way he looks at me.

We are both very honest with each other. We have alot of things in common. But just enough not in common to make our marriage interesting.

We married on 2-2-07...just 5 months after we met.

Answer 3

Me and my wife have been married for almost five years. It is our hope that all of our bumps in the road happened with our previous marriages. But I adore my wife and think she is the funniest, sexiest, best mother in the world. We both do what needs to be done in life without being asked and are considerate of each other. I hate coming to work because it is time away from her. Now watch when we hit 10 years of marriage ill start despising the way she chews her food or something!!!!

Answer 4

well my 2nd anniversary in on March 12 and even though we have only been married 2 years, its been the best 2 years of my life. I wouldnt trade it for anything. or secret is good communication, trust and still keeping it real. we still have date nights where we go to dinner or a movie and we take time to ourselves so that the time we spend together is that much more special. we have had our hard times too. I just went back to school this fall and its been tough,,,but were making it.

Answer 5

Making time for ourselves! My husband and I have been married 18 years and are still going strong. We have children, busy lives, work, outside activities, home improvement, animals, and every other responsibility in between. Our secret is making sure we have "a little" time for each other every single day, to discuss our day together, or just snuggle up and watch a program, or just talk about whatever. The important key we remember is for our family to thrive and be happy and healthy our relationship has to come first. When you love somebody........you truly love somebody. I'm just lucky to have married my somebody!

Answer 6

There is no secret. Marriage is work and compromise. If your partner has the same goals and values it is easy. Everyone has bumps in the road, if you are willing to resolve the issue rather then who is right things go a lot smoother.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Married 44 years, and there is no secret, it just as ceremony says, for better or worse, richer or poor, till death do you part. If you can't comit don't get married. Because life is full of ups and downs, arguments, etc. just don't go to bed mad and always in the same bed.

Answer 9

I have only been married for 10 months. But I absolutely love it. My husband and I are perfect for one another. We believe in each other and support each other. I know that there may be tough times in the future, but there's nothing we can't accomplish together. I truly love this man.

Answer 10

I love being married to my husband. I think it has to do with talking and being honest with each other. We keep the flames going with..text messages, email, flowers, and cards. It is just the little things that we do. We are a lot like and grow with each other. We don't just love each other we are IN LOVE. There is a difference.
