What do you think has made you're marriage last? If you've been married more than once what was the problem(s) in the marriage that didn't work?

Thankfully Ive never been married. And never plan on being married. I think marriage is a joke.That is just my opinion. I mean you can possibly get a divorce anyways so why bother trying. Thats what I think. It might be OK for others but to me it sounds like a hassle. Then I here these stories of people having been married like 3 different times. Why dont they just give up and try living life a little.

I have been married and divorced twice. The guy I am with now (3 years) has been married and divorced twice. We are not in any big hurry to do it again.
Both times I got married, I wasn't really sure that that is what I wanted to do, but did it anyway. The first marriage, we married young and were better off as friends. We both had different ways of dealing with money and life. He was controlling and cheap. After we had been divorced for 5 years, he said he treated me bad and he was sorry.
Second marriage, neither one of us wanted to get married, but I was pregnant and we did it anyway. That marriage was awful and all about him. I was not allowed to work and the kids had to be in bed by seven, so he could have his television time. When I finally pushed back and started college, he got a girlfriend. This action of his kinda clued me in on his affair....I asked him to take the kids to the sitter at 6:30 am because I had to get to my CNA class at 6:00 am. He did not have to be to work until 7:30 and we only lived 15 minutes away. He told me that he had to be out of the house by 6:00 am because he could not afford to sit at the stop light outside of the base for too long cause it would waste gas. I never did take the CNA classes, but later attended college full time, as a single mother.

i was married once at an early age and for the wrong reasons. wanted to grown-up wanted to show my true love that if he didn't want me there was a man who did. my ex and i weren't on the same page about money,children..should have discussed this before marriage. my parents were married 30 years and loved each other immensely...so i had a great example in front of me of how it can work...communication, laughter, love of the Lord and each other. good luck

i have been married twice. the first time did not last because he got 2 other girls pregnant. not cool. somethings cannot be forgiven. I think this marriage will last because he has been cheated on also (this is his second also) so we both know how serious marriage is and are willing to do everything it takes to make it last. we have been through the no trust issues and know what it feels like to have your hopes and dreams crushed by the person who is supposed to love you. we would never do that to each other.

2 Times,
1st husband, 2 years 364 days.
2nd husband, 12 1/2 years and still counting.
I married my 1st husbands, nephew. I guess I married the wrong family member at first. Oops!

I have been married for 36yrs to the same beautiful woman. My father told me a long time ago that a happy wife=happy life. Never go to bed mad and say "I Love You at least once a day.

Having the same priorities and expectations of each other is important. Make sure before you decide who it is that you two have a talk about what you expect in your relationship and if you don't agree don't rationalize it and tell yourself that the other will change because it doesn't work that way.
Marriage is the mosst important decision you make in your life.

Married twice.
First one we were far too young and thought we knew what we wanted. (she was 17 I was 19).
Second one is still going, and I think it has lasted because we give each other our free time and are not constantly on the phone, text, computer etc with each other, so we enjoy our time together much more instead of being with each other constantly.
