Number 7 for me. I have been married for 18 years and it just keeps getting better and better. My husband is the most interesting and intriguing man I've ever known and I tell him that all of the time. I have more love and respect for my husband now than I did when I married him and it's obvious he feels the same way about me. But we work hard on that. How we work hard is by over-looking most little things about each other that might tend to get on our nerves; never bringing them up at all; only discussing the things that matter and concentrating heavily on the good in each other. We talk about the good in each other daily. When a person does that on purpose they realize there is much, much good. We also don't see marriage as a 50/50 proposition. I give 100% and don't worry about what he is doing or "should" be doing. He does this, too. Selfishness - not finances, not lack of communication, not sex (or lack of) - but selfishness is the number one cause of divorce.

I think back and I really thought I married for number 7, when I first got married. but when I get really down to the real fact it was 4.
Marriage is complicated. I still have love for him and a part of me always will, but I have no trust or faith in men. He destroyed my family and divided my children . He was a liar, a thief (he lost 2 jobs for stealing)( he steals from the government drawing SS for disability yet he can ride a motorcycle across the US and parties all the time) and a cheat I put up with this for years.
I was married for 37-1/2 years went with him 2 years We divorced because he was cheating again , for the 4 time that I really knew about , but this time with my youngest sister. I found out during and after the divorce he cheated on me many more times. Yet there is a part of my heart that still has fillings of love and their is the part that has the feelings of hate.

I married my husband for reason #7. We have been married for 7 years and we have a better marriage now and are happier than we have ever been. We did hit a very rough spot around the 4 year mark. I had a terrible bout of post partum depression which went undiagnosed for almost a year. My husband was pushed to his absolute limit. We separated and considered divorce. But during the process of my recovery and our plans for divorce, we found that our love began to deepen. We started spending more and more time together until, once again, we wanted to be eternally together. We reconciled and things are better than ever. We went on to have another baby and have found that our love continues to heepen. We both did a lot of growing and it was hard work but we saved our marriage. I shudder to think about how close we came to giving it all up

Well lets see here my answer to this question is out of total love and commitment to my partner and wanting to be eternally with them. Yes we are still together and NO i am not stuck in an unhappy marriage. I love my husband and marriage and i would not want it any other way. Married going on nine years now. The only reason anyone should marry is out of love and nothing else.

I can outright say #7
my wife and I have known one another for going on 16 years, and throughout the time before we were together. We were friends the whole time. And we've both admitted to having an interest in one another during those years. During those times we both experienced the worst of how a relationship could be, and when chance/fate threw us together at a time that we were both single. We took the time to get re-acquainted, and have been together ever since.
