Answer 1

By that point it really depends on the married couple as to which stage you hit. Most couples are barely hanging on by a thread, but they ARE hanging on, to what they have, had and want. Other couples simply smile about it all and do everything they can to keep one another happy and sane. Marriage is teamwork as well as love. You have to help each other deal with the stress, the bad times and the good ones as well. Every decision you make will prodominately put you into a different stage. Sometimes you bounce back and forth... sometimes you just give up all together. It is up to you and your spouse.

Consider marriage like a rollercoaster it is a continous life of up's and down's. You have your good days and your bad, your have fights and you have you have make-up sex. Really though marriage is a life of compromise and stress and love of course. The only true test of a marriage is the time, effort and devotion each spouse puts into it. Must also consider that this day and age a lot of people are not having kids. But even when kids are involved it is just added stress and frustration on most marriages. Statistically kids are one of the top 5 reasons couples split up. But really marriage is a commitment and a bonding of two people who love each other. If you can work through the bad times and really live up the good times there is no reason a marriage cannot last a lifetime. Keep your mate happy, have a good intimate relationship, but most importantly keep good communication with each other and never cheat!

God Bless and hopefully you ask this because you are a newlywed or are nearing the 10yr mark and have teenage children. In anyway as the kids age this just mean the closer the adults are getting to being alone again after so many years of having rugrats under there feet. It should bring happiness or one of the spouses is thinking divorce time the kids are old enough?

I even have felt that way various circumstances the place me and my husband pay attention it from our acquaintances for being husband and spouse particularly of boyfriend and female pal. See the adaptation between us and them, all of us know for a fact that when we've a foul day and purely wanna come homestead and cuddle with somebody, we dont might desire to provide somebody a call again over, cuz they are already homestead waitin on us

Its aways a honeymoon around here, just got to be the right person....

Answer 5

personaly speaking that is the divorce stage. Your partner decides he likes a younger female better, cause unlike you he never grew up.
